it's unclear if tech people yet realize that perspectives on ai usage differ dramatically depending on if you are token rich or token poor.
the idea of looping comes from a place of incredible privilege.
recommending that someone who works at an ai startup with unlimited token budget try looping makes complete sense.
however, that same idea told to someone with only a $2k/mo token budget would seem completely implausible.
what happens when millions of people start evaluating jobs based on what their token allowance will be? what happens to the longtail of administrative paper pushers that don't adapt? what happens to low throughput artists, engineers, or even lawyers and actuaries that can't be trusted to allocate spend?
every form of individual knowledge worker is going to be evaluated from the perspective of "do i trust this person to allocate tokens effectively?"
there are going to be massive investments into new hiring processes. organizations will need to rearchitect their structures to find orchestrators like Peter
my near term recommendation is to do everything in your power to work somewhere that trusts you to spend tokens.
you're ngmi if you only have $2k/mo to play with.
