How much are you paying for your baby sized LLM? Be honest. Let’s talk about how cheap things are ;)
Push notifications are king. We dont talk about them enough.
The writing in @joincolossus is great. Forgot how nice it is to read a professionally written article. Sometimes the brain craves more than a 5th grade reading level.
