made me chuckle, thanks

yes, when you drive these systems you can get novel output, depends on the effort you put in

people are mentioning 10K/mo 20K/mo can someone please pull out a measuring stick and give some examples of what they are doing exactly?

Coming from computing, I always liked the idea that measuring is possible and good practice

follow the money, they wont be selling vinyl but generating streaming revenue, just type in what you know are paying niches and off you go to fill the hard drives with slop to be paid by advertisers on streaming platforms.

go to the streets, meet your friends, the internet is now an echo chamber

I am against how its being used as well, in fact Authoritarianism is literally "central power to preserve the political status quo" - and that is what you have folks: OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/Facebook/etc are all central powers.

This is _the_ question we must all be able to answer, so here goes my attempt - we all have access to the same tools, before stackoverflow it was forums, books/manuals, so its always been about “getting there, showing up, figuring it out” your hypothetical boss has other things to do than kick a LLM around at that price
