This is the smartest counter I’ve seen to ai taking over jobs, in the short term.

Is the ((aggregate tokens cost to do what an employee does + plus fully encumbered developer and maintenance costs ) / (fully encumbered employee cost ) )<= productivity ?

If it takes 8 Claude agents, at $300 for tokens, per day, plus $200 per day in dev/maint , to do what an employee does per day, at a fully encumbered cost of $1200.

That’s 2600/1200. But then you need to factor in the productivity rate.

Is it more than 2.16 x productive ? Are there qualitative issues like morale, morality, whatever , that can’t be quantified, that need to go into the decision?

What is the going forward progression of burdened costs for the tokens ?

Curious what people think about this ?

“Control the supply chain, control the future.”

We couldn’t agree more.

The world is a supply chain.

[Thoughtleadr Branding Mastery @TL_branding]

Huang knows that the AI economy will be worth trillions.

Taiwan produces over 60% of the world's semiconductors.

And over 90% of the most advanced chips.

In his mind:

Control the supply chain, control the future:

@marcosd @LogTech1999 @brianlaungaoaeh We think every C-Suite executive &amp; Board Member should play the “Beer Game” to experience the need for digitalization &amp; investment in collaborative systems across their value chains. Their employees deal with the Bullwhip Effect pains daily. We invest in needed solutions.

The room temperature superconductor in Avatar, Unobtainium, cost $40,000,000 per refined kg

This week we learned that we might be able to synthesize an equivalently performative kg from $24 of phosphorus, $1.30 of lead, and $.20 of copper

[Trevor Blackwell @tlbtlbtlb]

If room-temp superconductors work (with sufficient current density) it will revolutionize robotics.
Most of the mechanical cost &amp; complexity is gearboxes and the rotational inertia they cause.

This is incredibly important to do.

My credo, uncovered over the course of 2014 to 2018, and based on which I’ve been building @refashiond Ventures since 2021, The Worldwide Supply Chain Federation since 2017.

I’m lucky to have found my partner, @lisahellebo, in 2016.
