Do you know how much it would have been at API prices?

Can't speak for their usage, but I calculated my token use with Copilot, my employer paid 22$ for >2000$ in tokens. Given estimates margins, Github is paying 98-99% of the costs for us. I imagine Claude max etc is similar. So it's not sustainable at all

No idea. Probably quite expensive. I usually run 4-5 concurrent CC sessions, so hard to pinpoint for just CHasm and Fe2O3

The idea that "agent harness" is the thing people actually want is laughable.


It seems it is the buzzword of the month.


Where in this case roi means attracting investments that will make the founders rich while making most of the investors lose money


I hope you inform our attorney general


Interesting that your thought process is failing in the same way that llms fail, which is though faulty analogies.


Curious, which API key are you using?


Highest priority is moving the toolbar???


Fortunately the LLM will always see that your gut instinct was right all along.


Others are pointing out that many also lost money, but I think we can say something even stronger, which is that the people that got rich only did so by taking the money of the people who lost money on it. If it's the future of money, you'll be able to buy in at a stable valuation, neither winning nor losing in the transition -- that's kind of a key property of money.


And yet, at some point most web developers will have picked it up after the "raw html" era -- that point has probably come, even.
