Investor Stewart Alsop III says intelligence is now "too cheap to meter": he dropped his $100/month Codex subscription for an all-you-can-eat Claude plan at the same price.
A year ago he was constantly worried about getting rate-limited or cut off on the $200 tier; now he says he doesn't think about token usage at all — a telling shift in how abundant AI coding capacity has become.
