Saw a thread today about how we’re likely in “the good ol’ days” of AI, referring to how relatively cheap these subscriptions are for the computing power we get, how it's unsustainable, and that it's only a matter of time before the cost-benefit ratio shifts the other way. Aside from price increases, we're already seeing things like models getting silently nerfed after they release so probably not too crazy of a prediction.

Most interesting find this week. Flipped a couple switches in my brain about my own AI workflow. The note about me (the human) being the bottleneck is something that's also crossed my mind recently. https://youtu.be/iQyg-KypKAA

I notice I hesitate now to include em dashes in my blog posts to avoid having people assume my writing's AI-generated, despite using them regularly before they became AI markers.
