SaaS isn't dead because why would I burn my frontier tokens building something (at least semi-serious) that I won't maintain, when I can just pay someone else far less than the token cost and never have to think about upkeep again.
It's called "Software-as-a-SERVICE" for a reason.
The service part means "do shit that the user doesn't want to do themselves."

The funny thing is everyone was saying AI slop code will cause a cyber crisis but it’s actually all the old human slop causing it and the AI is just cleaning it up
Every engineer should spend a week on API pricing for frontier models.
You learn fast that solving a "$10/mo problem" yourself can cost you $100+ in tokens.
Just because you can vibe it doesn't mean you should.
Last night I asked ChatGPT to build a replacement for an app I pay $10/month for. I wanted to build out some features specifically for my use case. Today I woke up and checked it, it was the perfect clone. Then I decided that this project was a waste of my time and deleted it.

At this point I just want models to be faster and cheaper. I have enough intelligence. Please, size doesn't matter any more, I need performance.

The way to win at capitalism is to focus on what it actually does (make customers' lives better) rather than the socialist caricature of it (squeeze every penny out of them). The latter gets you 2x returns at best, whereas making new things for people can get you 10x.

I think @bot is another “Claude Code” moment for AI.
I would estimate my personal AI usage is up something like 100x.
And for everyone who reached out about how to build a “podcast summarizer” it took me about 15 seconds in Grok Bot and is better than what I had before.
Grok @bot feels like what Claude Code felt like in Spring 2025.
But, for personal agents instead of coding.
They got the core details right - It just works.
