    Another angle: the cost of AI is highly subsidized. Every use costs the AI company considerably more than they’re charging (read Ed Zitron’s commentary on this). Example: A June 2026 SemiAnalysis report shows that a $200/mo Claude subscription can, when maxed out, cost Anthropic $8000/mo in tokens. Therefore, one way to harm AI companies is to max out one’s subscription.
