Great to see such write ups in particular with money.
At least 2 things the random LinkedIn post will ignore, on purpose or not :
- price today remains low (even though they might feel higher than before), Uber is the business model, no secret there, it's a VC classic
- $150 spent by an expert, a software engineer with significant practical knowledge in AI, is not equivalent to the exact same amount spent by a novice.
Yet now that a number is out, you bet it will be used. Expect alarmist posts tomorrow morning in your feed claiming building software is now as cheap as diner at the restaurant.
- uniqueuid 4mo agoIt's also about variance in the number. Expert software engineers will still accidentally burn $500 or $5000 on tasks that don't work, or are not efficient. Amateurs will accidentally spend $100 to get something great. So part of the change is a change in the risk structure of using frontier models. Before, you'd burn your quota; now, you can burn uncapped (less-capped) money.
