It will never ever be as cheap as as cron job and a shell script. There is a certain limit to how efficient using an LLM to do a job vs using an LLM to create a job is. There is a large distinction in compute and power resources between the two. Don't mistake one for the other.

That's precisely why my company runs dBase 7 on a fleet of old 286DX machine from Compaq. /s Running obsolete software will be cheaper, but the value provided by the newer technology will make the difference insignificant.
- esseph 8mo agoI don't think so, because that carried efficiency scales. Why do 50,000 tasks with an LLM when I can do 64,467,235 without an LLM that the LLM created for the same cost on probably far lower cost hardware?
