- Each nation is free to develop their own national or cultural locked AI models.
- The big model companies are as fair as possible, you can pay a bite of bread for a prompt.
- Local models exist, they only cost the existing hardware available.
- These tools and this technology can actually solve issues, with huge monetary impact. If you cannot use the tools economically, don’t. Spend your entertainment money instead, when you consider it to be entertaining.
- Find educational paths that are able to give you access to LLMs, like schools, grants, bourses, wealthy people around you, etc.
20$/month is TOO MUCH for 90% of the world.
20$/month is INSIGNIFICANT for 10% of the world.
Many things are like this in the world.
You can use Cursor today, with the best models, non-stop, and spend over 1000000$/year at current prices. You can also use free tools, or cheap tools, to learn how to be more effective in using them cheaply, and still solve some real world problems that can bring in money.
When the Internet was first starting to become popular in my country, I spent 50% of a monthly salary to go online, at night, when it was cheaper. The result is that I had access to knowledge and experiences that were not possible otherwise and I was professionally prepared to participate in a global market after the dot com bubble.
We are now seeing the AI bubble forming with huge promises and all eyes looking. You being on this forum puts you above 90% of the people around you in the next years, in both being able to take opportunities but also avoid risks. This is bigger than the dot com.
