There was a story on the newswires earlier this week which claimed that a US company had ended up with a half-billion dollar bill as the result of "enthusiastic" IA usage.
On further investigation it appears that this was more of an anecdotal story than one based on actual facts. As a result, many news publishers seem to have "vanished" their original reports so as to cover their gullibility -- although some remain online.
Although AI tokens are expensive, it is very unlikely that any company will have racked up half a billion dollars worth of use in a single 30 day period -- hence the rapid backtracking.
However, commercial-scale use of AI is expensive and growing moreso by the day.
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
