Essentially AI models are much cheaper to use now, than they will likely be in the near future (if they want a profitable business model which currently they are not). Users will get sucked in now while its accessible and build a reliance on these tools. Then have to bear the costs when prices will inevitably rise. It will be expensive - AI tools are inherently unaffordable for the masses.
So while i could understand the argument that they are useful tools to some now - you may not be able to actually afford it in the future. This is what i imagine will burst the AI bubble. Will folks be prepared for that?

I had admired his ambition and intensity to bring about his aspirations, despite some of the allegations of toxicity and terrible workplace culture. He seemed like a person who was genuinely interested in clean cars and space exploration & colonization - not from a capitalizing view but out of his own curiosity and push to save humanity. I kinda related to his neurodivergent nature that I hadn't seen in other mainstream figures.
He began to sour on me when he tried that stunt of saving the kids from the cave. And totally lost respect when he went and bought Twitter. And for many other reasons he's been going downhill since.
I like to think he'd been corrupted by capitalism... But its just sad what he's turned into.

I feel like i need to be more engaged, critical, thoughtful, intentional. Work on those brain muscles instead of passively consuming media.
Im in my late 20's but i can feel my body getting stiffer and more fragile. i don't have an exercise routine at all, and would like to incorporate some small daily exercise/stretching/yoga routine.

Im trying to get into the habit of setting a daily/weekly routine of hobbies, chores, meal planning etc.
Right now, they happen when they need to happen but its not the most efficient or well coordinated. And i'd like to spend less time thinking about when to do things or what to do for routine activities.
What are some routines that work for you well?

Bought the Zenphone 10 with the same intent of looking for a smaller Android couple years ago.
Its a pretty average phone, but I stopped caring about specs and more about useabililty. Been satisfied with it so far.
