The Economics of AI Don’t Add Up
Money talks. Bullshit walks. Bubbles pop, and the world just keeps on burning while the big wheels just keep on turning. Pick a vibe. Pick a cliché. Pick a metaphor. Pick and mangle a song lyric. Just don’t try to pick a winner in the big AI race when it comes to dollars and cents. Or sense. The racers are running in circles, burning the planet and dollars trying to figure out how to keep things on a track no one has figured out quite yet.
Hint: It’s a circle, jerks.
From the beginning the hype about Artificial Intelligence has felt like it’s all about the vibes. So many vibes. I define “the beginning” as when OpenAI took the wraps off of ChatGPT and kick started the race. Maybe they should have just done a Kickstarter.
Those were heady days. I remember everyone thinking ChatGPT would replace Google. Now we’re at the point where Google is trying to replace itself.
Today, chatbots are replacing human connections, and all sorts of crustaceans are being installed on computers, causing some havoc in the hardware markets along the way. Things have now progressed to a point that folks are vibe coding up a storm, now that it seems more doable. And it’s interesting to see and hear some who were initially skeptical about the broad scope of AI now embracing it. For what it’s worth, the current vibe feels to me like AI is heading into its GUI phase of computing, only you need a keyboard or a microphone instead of a mouse to get around on a screen or without one.
And yet, when it comes to the money game, the vibe feels like the math behind all those 0’s and 1’s might not add up.
Corporations are starting to scale back usage now that the bills are coming in. Microsoft and other tech companies are pulling plugs, in most cases for third party access among the employees they haven’t let go. At the same time there’s whispers that AI costs are beginning to exceed the costs of human employees. Corporations are starting to adjust because the beans they are counting don’t look like they will add up and no one has vibe coded an accounting app yet to project when, of if they will.
Consumers are looking at that $20 month subscription cost and backing off while trying to choose which, if any, of the constantly updating models that still promise inaccuracy will give them the best monthly bang for a double sawbuck. To make the math sting even more, Google, OpenAI, Claude, etc… are tossing around $100 a month (and higher) plans for the latest and supposedly best features that make $20 a month feel like a poor man’s vibe.
There’s a technology intersection that has always been on the roadmap for computing technology since the dawn of the personal computer. To an extent, enterprise computing always subsidized consumer technology. The vibes I’m sensing hint that roadmap may be changing, and it won’t just affect the costs of using AI, computer memory, and chip production. It potentially may filter into every facet of life from medical bills, to insurance premiums, to any wholesale or retail concern that might employ AI. Don’t think for a minute that any company is going to simply eat the rising costs of AI usage, or cut back prices should using it somehow actually produce savings from cutting employees.
Call me when you hear the first company touting that they are cutting costs due to AI. Trust me, I won’t be waiting by the phone.
If a vibe has a bottom line, here’s how I see this one. We’re heading into a moment where what we think of as computing and the Internet is going to run on two diverging tracks. It’s becoming obvious that whether someone is running any of the AI robots on their own device or somewhere on the Internet that the costs are more than anyone could have predicted, or thought might become sustainable.
The $20 a month marker was a big hint early on. We were all used to the Internet come on of getting in free, being swamped with ads, and then having to eventually subscribe so our data could be collected. That $20 a month heralded a change, but only at the point of entry.
Given that we all know that advertising is coming to AI, we’re escaping the orbit that we’ve been in for quite some time that most of the Internet was free but required a level of tolerance for advertising. I’m guessing that those who can only afford the $20 a month price tag with ads will think back on the ways we’ve complained about the streaming entertainment services and their ad proliferation as quaint by comparison.
The Circle
That $20 entry fee will rise. So will the more expensive options. I’m actually surprised we haven’t see that already. The fact that AI has to continually train itself to remain relevant means it’s going to continue to need new computing cycles to consume whatever is generated in the future, whether by humans or robots. I don’t think you can build enough data centers on the surface of this planet, under the sea, or in space to afford the churn and burn. That’s the circle. In the end it’s a real estate play that yields only cul-de-sacs.
Take a look at this article from Simon Willison. Unlike my pessimistic vibe on this, Willison seems to think Anthropic and OpenAI have found their product-market fit. He’s spending $200 a month ($100 to each) and considers that a bargain since his usage of the two generated $2,180 change in token use for a month. That math certianly adds up as a good deal in the current moment. Until you consider that at some point the difference between what he’s paying and what he’s using is going to have to be put on somebody’s balance sheet in some way. These companies can’t run at a loss forever.
It’s a good piece by Willison that informs quite a bit on this discussion and worth your time, because I think that’s what the discussion is going to inevitably come down to. Set aside all of the debates about accuracy, copyright, and environmental issues. Set aside the rising consumer backlash. Bottom lines are where everything sinks to eventually.
I admire and am grateful for folks like Willison, Federico Viticci, and others who are exploring this frontier and think we should be paying attention to their efforts and learn from them. Viticci has crafted a few interesting bits of software of late and spent some coin in doing so. I’m enjoying reading about his efforts.
I may be wrong, but it feels like we might be headed to a point that to use some software in the future, we’re going to need one of these ever changing and increasingly expensive AI engines on our computers to run some of the software that will be generated in the future. That will certainly come with a price tag. If, actually in my opinion when that happens, it will become another border defined by costs, dividing users between those who can afford the entry fee, and those who can’t.
It will also affect far more than our computing lives.

Japan Supports Oil Diversification In Southeast Asia
For a few months now, the economies of Southeast Asian nations have been affected by the higher costs of imported oil from the Middle East and there is no telling what evil the terrorist state of Iran could do with regards to the critical Strait of Hormuz. As such, the need for Southeast Asian nations to diversify their crude oil procurement sources is clear and Japan confirmed it will help them, according to a news article by Jiji Press with additional content from Manila Bulletin.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of Jiji Press. Some parts in boldface…
The Japanese government plans to help Southeast Asian countries diversify their crude oil procurement sources, in order to stabilize petrochemical supply chains amid the ongoing Middle East tensions.
Faced with recent energy shocks following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Southeast Asian nations, which depend heavily on imported crude oil, are working to reduce their reliance on Middle East oil.
The Philippines has depended on the Middle East for more than 90 pct of its crude oil imports. In March, the Philippines declared a national energy emergency due to soaring crude oil prices.
The Southeast Asian nation recently started importing crude oil from Russia, even while some countries have reduced or halted imports from Russia as part of sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine. The Philippines has also shown a willingness to pursue joint oil and gas exploration with China in the South China Sea, where the two countries have territorial disputes.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in a recent interview, “I don’t think that we will go back to the old system where the majority of the petroleum products that are coming out of the Strait of Hormuz are going to Asia.”
Marcos expressed expectations that Asian countries will further advance the diversification of their crude oil supply sources in the coming years.
Other member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, such as Thailand and Vietnam, are also seeking to diversify their procurement of crude oil by increasing imports from the United States and African countries, in addition to Russia.
At an ASEAN summit in Cebu in the Philippines earlier this month, leaders reaffirmed in a joint statement their commitment to diversifying crude oil procurement sources and promoting energy trade in the region. They also exchanged views on the idea of establishing joint oil and gas reserves.
Meanwhile, the Japanese government is wary of the potential impact on domestic supply chains if supply chains in Southeast Asia, a petrochemical manufacturing hub, are disrupted.
“Supporting supply chains in Asian countries will directly contribute to strengthening the Japanese economy,” Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said, indicating her intention to support ASEAN.
In April, the Japanese government announced a framework to provide financial support of 10 billion dollars, or around 1.6 trillion yen, to help stabilize energy supplies in Asian countries.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think Japan’s support for oil diversification in Southeast Asia is crucial for both itself and the region? Do you think Japan’s $10 billion plan will succeed in stabilizing the energy supplies of Asian nations? Do you think the Philippines will fall into an economic recession this year if the oil prices remained high? Do you think it is a wise idea for the Philippines to pursue a joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea with Communist China?

Japan Supports Oil Diversification In Southeast Asia
For a few months now, the economies of Southeast Asian nations have been affected by the higher costs of imported oil from the Middle East and there is no telling what evil the terrorist state of Iran could do with regards to the critical Strait of Hormuz. As such, the need for Southeast Asian nations to diversify their crude oil procurement sources is clear and Japan confirmed it will help them, according to a news article by Jiji Press with additional content from Manila Bulletin.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of Jiji Press. Some parts in boldface…
The Japanese government plans to help Southeast Asian countries diversify their crude oil procurement sources, in order to stabilize petrochemical supply chains amid the ongoing Middle East tensions.
Faced with recent energy shocks following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Southeast Asian nations, which depend heavily on imported crude oil, are working to reduce their reliance on Middle East oil.
The Philippines has depended on the Middle East for more than 90 pct of its crude oil imports. In March, the Philippines declared a national energy emergency due to soaring crude oil prices.
The Southeast Asian nation recently started importing crude oil from Russia, even while some countries have reduced or halted imports from Russia as part of sanctions following its invasion of Ukraine. The Philippines has also shown a willingness to pursue joint oil and gas exploration with China in the South China Sea, where the two countries have territorial disputes.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in a recent interview, “I don’t think that we will go back to the old system where the majority of the petroleum products that are coming out of the Strait of Hormuz are going to Asia.”
Marcos expressed expectations that Asian countries will further advance the diversification of their crude oil supply sources in the coming years.
Other member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, such as Thailand and Vietnam, are also seeking to diversify their procurement of crude oil by increasing imports from the United States and African countries, in addition to Russia.
At an ASEAN summit in Cebu in the Philippines earlier this month, leaders reaffirmed in a joint statement their commitment to diversifying crude oil procurement sources and promoting energy trade in the region. They also exchanged views on the idea of establishing joint oil and gas reserves.
Meanwhile, the Japanese government is wary of the potential impact on domestic supply chains if supply chains in Southeast Asia, a petrochemical manufacturing hub, are disrupted.
“Supporting supply chains in Asian countries will directly contribute to strengthening the Japanese economy,” Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said, indicating her intention to support ASEAN.
In April, the Japanese government announced a framework to provide financial support of 10 billion dollars, or around 1.6 trillion yen, to help stabilize energy supplies in Asian countries.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think Japan’s support for oil diversification in Southeast Asia is crucial for both itself and the region? Do you think Japan’s $10 billion plan will succeed in stabilizing the energy supplies of Asian nations? Do you think the Philippines will fall into an economic recession this year if the oil prices remained high? Do you think it is a wise idea for the Philippines to pursue a joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea with Communist China?

Japanese Business Leaders Pledge $3.4 Billion Worth Of Investments For The Philippines
The Philippines, which is already struggling with weak economic growth, high fuel prices and rapid inflation, got a boost thanks to Japanese business leaders who pledged investments worth $3.4 billion for the country, according to a news report by GMA News.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface…
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday secured stronger commitments for deeper economic integration during a high-level roundtable meeting with top Japanese business executives at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.
In his meeting with leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions, Marcos bagged an aggregate investment commitment of $3.4 billion (approximately P210 billion) from participating Japanese corporations.
In a statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said these combined capital inflows are “projected to catalyze substantive macroeconomic benefits, expanding domestic industrial capacity and directly generating thousands of high-quality, specialized jobs for Filipinos.”
The PCO added that the infusion “underscores the resilience of the Philippine market, promising long-term economic dividends by fortifying local supply chains, upgrading tourism infrastructure, and accelerating technology transfers across critical growth sectors.”
The President is in Tokyo for a four-day state visit upon the invitation of the Japanese government.
In his remarks, Marcos said a robust Philippine-Japan economic corridor is critical and that laying the groundwork for an enhanced, unified partnership is essential to navigate global difficulties, build resilience, and sustain momentum.
“As we mark 70 years of the normalization of our diplomatic relations, we are no longer simply commemorating history. We are entering a new chapter – a chapter defined not only by friendship, but by deeper integration, shared growth, and a common belief in the future,” the President told the leaders of Japan’s largest conglomerates and financial institutions.
He outlined a unified government approach spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Tourism (DOT).
“The Philippines is pursuing a clear national direction: building an economy where infrastructure, industry, finance, human capital, and connectivity move together as one system of growth,” Marcos said.
“Increasingly, we recognize that trade and tourism will be among the most important engines of that growth.”
He underscored the importance of stronger trade and tourism linkages, saying these are not supporting sectors but “core drivers of economic expansion in the Philippines moving forward.”
“This is a philosophy our two countries understand deeply,” the President said.
He also acknowledged the foundational contributions of several Japanese firms operating in the Philippines, such as All Nippon Airways, Toyota, Mitsubishi Corporation, Marubeni, Panasonic, and Fast Retailing.
He thanked these Japanese investors for their continued confidence in the Philippine economy and for helping create high-quality opportunities for Filipino workers and industries.
“You are no longer just investors in our economy. You are builders of it,” Marcos told the Japanese business leaders.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the $3.4 billion investment pledge by Japanese corporations will be a huge boost for the Philippines’ economy? Do you consider the ties of Japan and the Philippines healthy today?
