If I was working for you and I heard that you spent 10k on a bullshit LLM subscription instead of paying me 10k to work harder I would look for a new job immediately.


I like what you’re saying but if I had changed jobs every time my employer set $10k on fire, I guess I would have pretty long resume.


Yup, while I like being invested in at work (sending me to learn new shit at conferences or stuff like that) I'd never agree with spending 10k on some tool where even the tool vendors say "use with caution, dont use this in production, bla bla bla".

If it really augments my output, sure, currently I just watch my tokens drop to 0 within 3-4 days of using it and then having to wait a month for them to reset because I wont pay for more parrot tokens. The output speeds up some small things but to my overall speeds its not noticeable a ton.


We should get Claude Code to invent an AGI that makes more water

In the future we will do away with outdated concepts like reservoirs and water towers and simply use prompts to access all of our natural resources.


My city (Sydney) is known for having a huge supply of water & the council is now talking about shortage and need for planning as they expect the data centre in 1 block to be using 25% of it because of the AI tools https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08-27/ai-to-take-up-one-qua...


why would you pay for software you can generate for free?


Try generating Figma through Claude Code before you can say that. Classic software is full of human ingenuity and replicating each feature looks easy on the surface, but when you get into it, it slowly becomes impossible.

Note: Figma was just an example of a complex software.


Figma is old-world technology. The future is on-demand LLM image generation.


> The future is on-demand LLM image generation.

Why even generate an image then. Why don I just use dribbble / behance and pick the best design


So you're going to generate Quickbooks on the fly every time you need to make an accounting journal entry?


Why would you pay for a meal you could make at home?

Because I have neither the time nor inclination to make it at home right now. I have other stuff I need to do.


> don't come at me AI enthusiasts!

no need to worry; none of them know how to read well enough to make it this far into your comment


Actually they're the only ones who do: copy and paste into chatgpt with "distill this please".
