Is the ai hate a global or western thing? A friend of mine in Japan says people don't hate it there. Maybe she's just in a bubble?

Depends how you use the tokens. It's not 10k, but I have an agent do an investigation automatically when I get paged, so by the time I get to the computer I have a nice summary. But that's costing me like $5/mo at most.

But you could use tons of autonomous agents for all kinds of things. Probably shouldn't, but you can.

I have 3 max20 subscriptions and usually max at least two of them out.

I'm doing lots.

I'm building a social media site that nobody will ever use. I'm printing an ancient game to Linux and expanding the features (such as adding hw acceleration where it isn't needed). I'm troubleshooting crash logs for an Xbox game that has maybe 50 active players. Im building a distributed customer service system that provides LLMs, RAG, tool calls for lots of integrations (Gmail, calendar, sheets) (this one actually has several paying users). I'm building games, and releasing them on the Google marketplace (play store?)

But what used the most tokens was a kind of agent swarm I experimented with to implement a complex desktop application for very specific data manipulation. That.. half worked.. but it's buggy.

I made several internal tools at my company that are actually getting used by pretty much everybody. That's my most successful work I think. Oh, and I created a backup deployment in Azure for my companies product because .. we had the azure credits, so why not?

I recently sat in on a lecture at my old uni and noticed almost every student heavily using ai. So I agree it's a but heavy handed to day young people dislike ai as a monolith.

Love the idea, I think more complex games would show the gap in ability better.

Do it again but this time get them to make a multiplayer online Jetmen REVIVAL game. Online play is key, because it's very complex. Jetmen is a good game for this since it has physics and customization that's complex enough but still simple.

This is the gotcha here and the solution is to tell it how it should architect the software and what integration points it should use. But if you clearly define integration boundaries, the success condition, and a few other small details, it generally does a pretty good job.

We did at my work. We were paying too much for low code orchestration software. Replaced it with vibe coded workflows. Still have some infra costs but it's fantastic, cheaper, more velocity, and everybody is happy.

We use Gemini for some specific tasks. It is often unavailable due to capacity limits or other downtime.

It's probably the best multimodal model I've worked with (if somebody knows a better one for audio analysis, please let me know!)
