6 days of work to do this. Even if it doesn't end up becoming meaningful, it shows just how tokens and work done will be linked now and in the future.

It's going to be hard to compete with someone or a company that has more compute. They will just be able to do things you can't.

I can't help but wonder what this cost in USD assuming you paid standard rates from Anthropic. Can someone even ballpark the price?

You could have said the same thing about steam power or electricity. And it’s not just an analogy: The magic of these things is in being universal information engines. You spend capital to build them, using well-understood, scalable techniques, plug them into electricity, and out comes value.

My point is, there’s no chance of a “haves and have nots” emerging, any more than electricity turned out that way in the modern world.

		This is exactly how Anthropic will market this rewrite towards companies thinking about doing more layoffs. 1 person did a rust rewrite that took 6 days that would have taken hundreds of engineers more than a year to do.
