Garry Tan spends up to $200K a year on tokens as agent power users hand over everything

A report shows Y Combinator's Garry Tan uses AI agents so heavily he spends up to $200K a year on tokens. Building on that, @zivravid riffs a comedic sketch of the agent power user: someone who feeds their agent everything, including 20 years of therapy notes, and lets the agent talk them into therapy. In the bit, the agent bills $200K a year in tokens, chides the founder for keeping confidential notes in Apple Notes, and quips that total control is what he said about his BlackBerry — "Session 214." Beyond the jokes, it captures both deep personal dependence on AI agents and the very real five- to six-figure inference bills of extreme usage.
