Let's put it this way, how much is 5% productivity bump worth to you? If you're in the US and you're making 100k a year, that's worth 5k or $416/m. So you can buy two of the most expensive plans on the frontier mode

AI is the fastest growing consumer product in history. It argues AI is a turn-off because of a survey (methodology not disclosed) and is done by a company that's trying to sell you something. Sorry but I'm skeptical.

What does "sustainable equilibrium" mean? What are you balancing if not human growth? And how do you plan to do that?

The problem with these kinds of analysis is that they're surface level. They criticize "number go up" but rely on it to make comparisons to other bubble events. For instance, AI infra buildout is like 2008 because number went

Take a simple workflow. You have a query it goes to a classifier. The classifier determines what workflow it should route the request to. Then you have a general workflow that has a set of skills (prompts) and tools. And that could be recur
