All white collar work will be done by AI soon, there won’t be scaling down, just scaling up. I do food trucks and festivals and I’ve got AI doing so much of my non-meatspace work now that I’m buying $10-$20 a day in tokens. At that rate, hardware starts to look cheap, and I have less of a use case for it than most white collar workers.
I would also be interested in what you use AI for. Is it marketing? bureaucracy?
Genuine question, what are you spending that on? The $20/month ChatGPT/Codex subscription has largely been enough for me as an IT worker.
