Don't forget having to pay a bunch of lazy Americans high wages vs hard working and loyal Japanese drones who get paid less. I'm not exaggerating, loyalty to your employer is huge in Japan.

The whole reason they don't do it already is that evaporative cooling saves on energy. So their energy consumption will go up if they want to save on water lol
EULAs aren't legally binding in sane countries.
Is it? I'm spending my own money on 4 currently bottom tier AI subscriptions (fucking hell I'm not gonna pay 200€ a month for one sub) that I'm trying out and working on 3-4 projects in parallel. Lots of experimentation been done in my own time to get things working nicely too. I won't say I deliver 3-4x as much work in the same time because obviously I don't, I have to double check everything and with small things the AI is slower than I am... But even just 50% more work is 50% more money.
The alternative is going and saying "hey I want 50% more money per hour because I deliver 50% more work in the same timeframe now" and my employer telling me to pound sand because that puts me over what they charge for my work when they rent me out. Instead I bill them more and they bill their customers more and nobody needs to raise their rates.
This probably is a best case scenario for AI usage being a productivity boost, I'm not forced to use it (and often don't), my employer/customer is okay with me billing extra hours IFF I'm getting things done in less time than reasonable estimates. Their customers still get the things done in the costs (hours) that they agreed to.
If you accept changes then you're probably using an agent though?
Personally I do it to clock more hours than I've actually done, why else?
How do you use it without agents? Just prompt the chat interface?
When I used claude code, I'd go through the smallest tier subscriptions 5h limit in half an hour sometimes if I used Opus lol, reckon at API pricing it would've been 100 bucks an hour
If you do, what's even the point of bot detection?
Let's not forget that almost all memory is made by a cartel of 3 companies known for price fixing. They're all being as slow as possible about increasing production capacity.
Yes because it takes time and money to build them so you don't do it on a monthly basis, you do it when the performance gain is worth it
40 years ago range rovers weren't particularly big, nor much of a soccer mom car compared to what it is now
