    • This guy is the best every weekGabriel
    • I fail to feel the fear, because I'm not doing Peter Steinberger level work so I don't need Peter Steinberger level tokens. As I don't need to launch satellitespalimpsest
    • to benefit from GPS.
      Real question, has anyone experienced AI's (pricing or other) stranglehold. Because in my own little corner of working for mid-size bizness

    • I've been using AI from day one, and so far — as regards to productivity — I'm only seeing the benefits and that's not just at the individual level.palimpsest
    • I would love to hear about y'alls experiences.palimpsest
    • My partner is a programmer and I'm a designer. I replaced him with AI and he replaced me with AI. Both of us couldn't be happier. end. lol_niko
    • Adopt me.
      This is what I'm talking about!

    • It's been a great thing for me personally but I understand the fear and hate that is out there.yuekit
    • Imagine you are looking for a job right now. No one is hiring because they think AI will be able to automate their workforce in the near future.yuekit
    • It's not hard for me to understeand the fear from someone who's never used AI. And I how big bizness uses it as a threat.palimpsest
    • But I'm looking for people actually using AI in production, because there seem to very few of them, at least here.palimpsest
    • Really...I thought we were all using it? Maybe I'm just confused about the current status of things here lolyuekit
    • Who's using it on their daily work: to pay the bills?
      And in that case, in the words of Seinfeld: what's the deal?
      I want to understand the fear.

    • The thing is, many of us here run our own businesses and have a wide range of skills...design, programming etc. I think that's the kind of person who is bestyuekit
    • able to take advantage of these tools. But now imagine you work for a big corporation and have done the same specialized job for the past decade.yuekit
    • As a freelancer my Claude Max plan is enough and is well integrated into my monthly costs. I even have the Gemini upgrade for free because we make GSuite apps.palimpsest
    • In the second scenario you have less room to maneuver and this new tech the bosses are pushing becomes more of a threat, IMHO.yuekit
    • Help me, help you.palimpsest
    • Just claiming that the guy that made OpenClaw is using waaaay more tokens than me is just not doing it.palimpsest
    • @yuekit
      I follow you. Not for me these seem to be more big bizness problems than AI problems.

    • *But for me...palimpsest
    • yeah li, I'm on Claude max as well and initially it seemed like a ludicrous amount of money to be shelling out monthly but when you realize the massive time sav_niko
    • saving and honestly it just does a way better job than what my dumb ass could try to hack together._niko
    • I briefly downgraded to the Pro plan and you quickly realize how much of a value the Max plan is when you start burning through extra credits.yuekit
    • Just completing a single task ended up costing about $50 in credits! So I would definitely recommend the $100 plan for serious users.yuekit
    • $200/month however I was having trouble actually using all of the tokens. Might make sense if you are constantly working on a big development project.yuekit
    • Max Plan is 100€ on this side of the pond, easily covered by a couple of hours billing (I'm that cheap!).palimpsest
    • I have no idea what percentage of tokens I use. I'm just happy I never need to re-up.palimpsest
    • My original argument still stands, I don't need to send no rocket to the moon.palimpsest
    • Yeah that's what I meant. There's also a higher level that gives you 20x the number of tokens for twice the cost.yuekit
    • Or I guess it would be 4x what you get for the $100 plan. But yeah it's an interesting question what happens with pricing in the future.yuekit
    • It could be that we're living through the era of AI being ultra-cheap because it was subsidized by the companies and investors.yuekit
