Musk says many people have similar stories about AI spending

AIElon Musk writes "Many such stories" in a post that quotes an account of a friend who spent over 100,000 dollars on two Mac Studios to run open-source models. The friend reportedly found them less useful than a 200-dollar-per-month closed model.

笑死，一个朋友嫌每月 200 美元的 AI 订阅太贵。🤣 转头花了十几万，买了 2 台 Mac Studio，专门部署开源大模型。昨天跟我吐槽： “折腾半天，发现还没每月 200 美元的闭源模型好用……” 本来想省点订阅费，结果直接把未来十几年的会员费一次性交了。🤡
