ChatGPT Pro

With the release of Nova earlier this week thats even cheaper (I havent had a chance to really play with it yet to see how good it is) ive been thinking more about what happens when intelligence gets "too cheap to meter", but this def feels like a step in the other direction!

Still though, if you were able to actually utilize this, is it capable of replacing a part-time or full-time employee? I think thats likely

Sounds like there’s the potential of asking it a question and it literally spending hours thinking about it.

I am using more Claude.ai these days, but the limitations for paying accounts do apply to ChatGPT as well.

I find it a terrible business practice to be completely opaque and vague about limits. Even worse, the limits seem to be dynamic and change all the time.

I understand that there is a lot of usage happening, but most likely it means that the $20 per month is too cheap anyway, if an average user like myself can so easily hit the limits.

I use Claude for work, I really love the projects where I can throw in context and documentation and the fact that it can create artifacts like presentation slides. BUT because I rely on Claude for work, it is unacceptable for me to see occasional warnings coming up that I have reached a given limit.

I would happily pay double or even triple for a non-limited experience (or at least know what limit I get when purchasing a plan). AI providers, please make that happen soon.

Let’s see if those folks saying they’ve doubled their productivity will pay.

I think this direction definitely confirms that human beings and technology are starting to merge, not on a physical level but on a societal level. We think of ChatGPT as a tool to enhance what we do, but it seems to me more and more than we are tools or "neural compute units" that are plugged into the system for the purposes of advancing the system. And LLMs have become the defacto interface where the input of human beings is translated into a standard sort of code that make us more efficient as "compute units".

It also seems that technology is progressing along a path:

loose collection of tools > organized system of cells > one with a nervous system

And although most people don't think ChatGPT is intelligent on its own, that's missing the point: the combination of us with ChatGPT is the nervous system, and we are becoming cells as globally, we no longer make significant decisions and only use our intelligence locally to advance technology.
