Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Would you agree that hitting an LLM api endpoint is far simpler than successfully setting up cloud infrastructure, which is inherently far more stateful? 211
Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I’ll grant that “if you build … around a single provider”, you’d be somewhat locked in, but I don’t think people are doing that. The fact that there are tons of LLM routing services, and the consumer facing products let you pick the model shows they are interchangeable. 000
Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Yes, I think the margin will shrink as the market matures and stabilizes. I think public cloud services are not analogous because LLMs have low switching costs. I’m not sure what a good analogy is, maybe wireless telecom services; basically a utility, except no monopoly. 110
Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 29/05/2026LLM-as-a-service will not be a high margin business, so they should make as much money selling hardware as they can during the exuberance. There is no network effect, no customer loyalty, no API lock-in, and no way to stop distillation attackers from undercutting them. It’s a commodity. 100

Jamie Donaldson @jamiedonaldson.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Wouldn’t the wealth of the bettors skew this? Since net worth follows a power law distribution, I’d expect that to be reflected in the sizes of bets and therefore the distribution of profits. 000
