The Tokenpocalypse Is Here: Companies Are Scrambling to Stop Spending on AI

• topham 2mo ago
  This post is for paid members only. For trivial tasks - like converting pdf to PowerPoint - are there other tools that do it automatically? Or by trivial, you mean time consuming reduction of basic facts from a pdf into a PowerPoint presentation? I have to tell you, the most valuable thing I don't have in a day is time.

    When I could, I try to get AI to write a script to do certain things and use the script from then onwards. Makes it deterministic as well as saves cost.

      A script can't pull facts out of a PDF, but you certainly don't need 2T param frontier model to do that either.

      Non techies don’t get that though. They will use opus to translate audio or whatever
