Nah bro, here's $50 capped limit for your Fable/Astra so you can straight up stop AI-first software dev after 2hrs of work.
Some people stop, are stuck with local models on an M1 and then are fired because they're "not agentic enough".
Others buy their hobby plan (20x) and do literally all their work with that.
Result: companies don't notice anything, nobody seems to complain because fire-scared and surprisingly ppl are still productive. Ye, no shit.
Until subsidized plan canceling burst the whole AI bubble after IPO. I'll prep the surprised Pikachu meme.
i don't understand why you would limit employee token spend
if they are creating value, why would you limit that?
so if you limit them, you essentially say: your output is not valuable enough against the token cost
but why would 200-500/m be of any value if 5k is not?
