Might cost 50 cents to make the chip, but then you have to cover for all the development costs and packaging into a useful package that fits into a socket.
Add some profit on that in order to make the shareholders happy and to cover costs for the next generation and the $700 price tag might be a bit on the high side, but not horrible.
Add to it that not all the chips made are fully functional so there are some losses there too.
Submission + - Anthropic blocks Claude subscriptions from third party AI tools like OpenClaw (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: Anthropic says Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage inside third party tools like OpenClaw starting April 4 at 12pm PT. Users who previously logged into those apps with their Claude account will now need to purchase usage bundles or use a Claude API key instead. The company says its subscription plans were built for normal chat usage, not the automated workloads often generated by external clients and agent frameworks.
The move appears aimed at controlling compute costs as demand for AI models continues to rise. Third party tools can generate far more model requests than a typical user chatting in a browser, especially when automation or scripting is involved. Casual users likely will not notice any difference, but developers and power users who relied on those tools may now face usage based pricing.

Submission + - Masturbate more to lower your risk of cancer (nypost.com) 1
fjo3 writes: Dr. Lorelei Mucci, a professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and a co-author of emerging research on prostate cancer and ejaculation, told The Post that her team has come across some interesting patterns.
Data from a long-term health and lifestyle study assessing more than 50,000 men since 1986 suggests that those who ejaculate 21 or more times per month had a 19-22% lower risk of prostate cancer than those who came less, she said.
“The ’21 or more’ isn’t a strict biological magic number, but rather a finding that emerged from our robust statistical analysis,” Mucci explained, adding that her team has even observed small reductions in risk for men who ejaculated only eight times per month.
