Tokenmaxxing goes brrr
Palantir calls for aid! Would Rohan answer?
You can't even properly review the result of burning 4.5k in tokens with just a single senior dev.
The real limit still is how much high-skilled natural neural compute you got to make sure that the AI output is actually any good.
Exactly. Managers live in a golden age right now where social media automatically blames their fuckups on AI.
Firstly why would you pay API prices when you can use the subscription plans for 20x less
Secondly that much API spend would require dozens of senior engineers using it full time, like you'd be doing the work of an entire, quite large engineering team not a single junior
Currently, yes. However, if you build your business on highly subsidised temporary prices, you are probably like the CEOs that can't think further than their shareholders. If you believe there will be flat rates in the end I have a bridge to sell to you.
