Jevon's paradox happens when elasticity of demand is extremely high.
- Jevon's paradox happens when elasticity of demand is extremely high.
- That is, when latent demand is significantly higher than realized demand.
- As cost declines, demand rises at a significant rate.
- LLMs have a compounding rate, because you can use tokens to create tools that consume tokens.
- This then accretes, leading to an accelerating rate of demand.
