If you read AI critics, you will see people presenting solid financial evidence of the failure of AI companies to do what they promised. Remember Sam Altman promised AGI in 2025? I certainly do, and now so do you.

Do you have any concrete evidence that this financial flop will turn around before it runs out of money?

Am I interpreting this wrong, or do the specs look like absolute crap? I would expect a thin client would need hardware this good:

2 vCPU
4 GB RAM
64 GB Storage

That starts at $28 a month.

(Especially when a cheap thin client with a "cheap" monthly subscription can do essentially all the same things.)

Right now, one year of Microsoft 365 costs a full hundred dollars... and there is still a strong desktop market.

If you're right that the tech industry is willing to price consumers out of personal computers - and it looks like they are - I can only imagine what will happen to those subscription prices.
