It’s the usual enshittification tactic. Make AI cheap so companies fire tech workers. Keep it cheap long enough that we all have established careers as McDonald’s branch managers, then whack up the prices once they’re locked in.
Costs of solving PoW for Anubis is absolutely not a factor in any AI companies budget. Just the costs of answering one question is millions of times more expensive than running sha256sum for Anubis.
Just in case you’re being glib and mean the businesses will go under regardless of Anubis: most of these are coming from China. China absolutely will keep running these companies at a loss for the sake of strategic development.
Yeah but ai companies are losing money so in the long run Anubis seems like it should eventually return to working.

Thanks for the info 👍 would not have thought Anubis would be so irrelevant
