bindureddy · x · 2026-08-15
The author argues society is rapidly splitting into two classes:
- Token-poor: People using cheap models constantly to justify the blended cost of their labor and the tokens they consume.
- Token-rich: People simply automating the work of 100-person teams.
Conclusion: The Token-rich group is significantly more ROI-positive.
