Cliff Stoll has a similar theory about books, or at least his, that you can only read them once, because the words start falling out, and then you have to get a new copy.

you go ahead and try to find a local model that is either worth trying to have a conversation with, help you do research, or code up your ideas. i have more compute power in my office than most, and haven’t found anything capable enough to do anything of much value to me

witch is a real big shame you can do amazing things with these tools it’s just that the people using them, on average, are just that, average, and they’re generating nothing of value beyond vanity and here i sit, with some pretty killer ideas, but i don’t know that it’s worth max plan money

ai inference costs bring new meaning to “you gotta spend money to make money” in a fantastical sucking whirlpool death spiral kind of way and it’s all because of a bunch of people generating billions of lines of code they’ll never use again just to prove they can you know, for the vibes, man

are you suggesting that being scolded for making a bad decision is a bad thing? there may be a lot of proxies happening but being unable to travel because you bet on the wrong horse seems somehow like a teaching moment
