You don't need a $200/mo plan, that's for people chewing through Opus tokens with multiple instances of Claude Code going in parallel. My impression is that most people just use the free ChatGPT tier, or $20/mo at most.
For coding or talking to it? $20 is ok to chat I guess. $100 is minimum if you do this for a job.

Well, that's surely worth sacrificing people's livelihood for.
Yes, same as industrial revolution was worth sacrificing people's livelihood, because in the end we are much better off.

What value do they get that both couldn't be done before and outweighs the costs?
Personalized learning. Some people on the US were paying over six figures to be educated and now they can do it at a much better quality for free.

> something that few years ago was decades away. There's no way of knowing this - I see articles fairly often on HN of mathematicians (sometimes grad students or younger) solving problems where progress previously had stalled.
What I meant was not that these problems wouldn't get solved for decades, but that few years ago (before advent of LLMs) if you've asked average researcher how far away are we from AI solving unsolved math problems, the median answer would be that we are far, far away from that.

Fewer people than ever are comfortable doing that, even though the information on how is easier to get than ever. I hope a repairable and upgradable Steam Machine would help more people dip their toes into it.
I fully understand being uncomfortable with a CPU swap, but a GPU swap isn't difficult. Valve also could have gone the Framework route of releasing a motherboard+CPU combo so you can upgrade later down the line just by swapping the board out. I guess they can earn more money by soldering everything on the board and having you buy a completely new PC every time you want to upgrade.
> The 1TB OLED model got a $300 price increase, and now costs $949. How is it possible for the steam machine to be under $1,000?

Thank god they can do it now! I'm willing to add thousands more to my bills, I'm sure AGI is around the corner and will make life so much easier.
You don't need AGI. If AI progress stopped right now, LLMs would still be amazing and extremely useful technology. It already makes life for many much easier. But it's easy to miss it when you are entombed in anti-AI bubble. But I've got something that may placate your fears - remember that horses did not vote.
No? I don’t? Because that’s the bright future they’re trying to sell, after they kick you out on the street.
> But I've got something that may placate your fears - remember that horses did not vote.
Neither did serfs. And that’s what they’re trying to establish. Also, very generous of you to believe that anyone outside of the tech bubble, or hell that majority INSIDE of the tech bubble, will lift a finger to defend the tech workers. Just look at how controversial a simple topic like work union is. It’s dog eat dog out there, and tech feudal lords know that they can just buy the most vocal ones.

I don't think the software that lies to you and makes things up on a regular basis is a very good teacher. Even if it was, that's not worth the cost to society vs just improving education.
