Now, that's actually a very reasonable usage, because it isn't coding, it's translation. The counter to that being beneficial is that many code translation programs already exists and it's certainly something that can be

Could you, or someone, make a video showing a real life coding scenario where an agentic system or just LLM provided significant value? That, to me, would be beyond the value one would get or could have previously gotten from a Google sear

Idk, I feel like the overlap of kids that want to talk to Santa and have the attention span to play with a single toy for 60 minutes is narrow. I'm a lot more concerned with Santa promising gifts that don't arrive!

The issue though being that most people aren't paying and even those paying if they use it moderately aren't profitable. Nvidia "investing" 100B in one of its largest customers is a cataclysmically bright red flag.

The $20/mo plan is not the goal, that's not even close to sustainable, that's basically just a charge to verify someone is human. The goal is you reduce that 25m to 20m and you charge 1/5th of a SWE salary, let's sa
