AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking.
- Creativity stands on the past.ShenanigansTV
- AI is a pattern predictor, and while it uses "past data" it can see things within the data and then present the next logical step forward. This is what we callShenanigansTV
- creativity. Unless we get even more philosophical and call creativity a moment, a happy accident. But this puts it in the realm of magic, and magic diesShenanigansTV
- when it becomes understood. Then it becomes data. Creativity is just observation and declaration.ShenanigansTV

- 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 biznesspalimpsest - 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!palimpsest - 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.palimpsest - 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.palimpsest - *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
- No jobs → no money → no pay for AI too
Something will get wrong.Gabriel - So the real problem is AI taking our jobs?
Because from the video it seemed to be that the problem was the price of tokens which I directly addressed.palimpsest - If I had a job (not a freelancer) I wouldn't expect to be paying for my work tools outtalk my own pocket. As a freelancer, it's working out for me.palimpsest
- So, no job → no money →no AI doesn't seem like a labor problem to me.palimpsest

Google making AI search the default might be the real "replaced by an AI" scenario. Hugely disruptive to businesses who rely on traffic from Google.

The Typo Vibe Shift
To some, they’re no longer a sign of laziness but proof of human touch
Some job applicants are intentionally adding typos to their cover letters to prove that they, and not an AI program, wrote them. Celebrities and CEOs are sending out error-ridden emails and Instagram Stories, and instead of getting a scolding, they are praised for sounding authentic.
