do you spend most of your money on grok subscriptions ?

I might at some point be spending more money on somebody elses claude subscriptions than on food

my point is that the amount of calories a person needs is limited, and the efficiency is non-decreasing, so the per capita spending has an upper bound

"ai" does not have such an upper bound

		Ackshully, AI does have an upper bound in information theory, but since we're not anywhere close to writing data to the surface of a black hole I don't think it's a big issue yet.

		Population growth isn't limited except through resources but AI also needs resources

Most employers are spending a large fraction of SWE salaries on AI tokens right now.

It's not unthinkable that trend continues (even if it's rationalizing at the moment), and moves over into other fields as well.
