Alexey Fateev(@superalesha):What the AI industry did to its customers in the last 8 days: OpenAI cut the $200 Pro plan in half. OpenAI launched a $500 plan. OpenAI started watermarking your text. DGX Spark went from $3,999 at launch to $6,950. Micro Center started scanning ID to sell an RTX 5090. Micron sold 75% of its 2027 memory to someone who is not you. What happened to the things I own: Nothing. My 4x 3090 are the same cards. The Qwen weights on my SSD are the same file. Nobody emailed me about a new tier. I dont run local models because they are the smartest. I run them because its the only part of my AI setup where the rules didnt change this week. Download the weights. Buy the hardware. Do it before the next announcement.
