alt Hacker News> People coming up with these tech use cases live in a reality where price sensitivity isn't a thing.
Amen, there's a worldview difference going on here, and it goes beyond comparative pricing of 2+ choices, and includes other error/reliability issues.
For example, they aren't too concerned with the reservation-cancellation fee when it schedules the wrong fancy dinner date, the restocking-fee for returning the wrong product, the difficulty of getting refunds for the wrong flight, etc.
If it messes up sometimes, well, that's just the price of convenience... but they're able/willing to put a much higher price on convenience than the median consumer.

Convenience is the root of all evil. I know people say it is money. But what is money if not the ultimate convenience?
What? If you tell Opus to be concerned about that it will. And I’d say by default it is way more concerned than I am.
Perhaps you had experience with some old models and crap setups like OpenClaw? But things don’t work like that any more.

That seems incredibly inconvenient, though; you then have to sort it out.
