• Yesterday, I saw this report: Meta employees consumed 73.7 trillion AI tokens in a single month. This costs roughly $221 million a month and around $2.65 billion a year. That s the salary of about 9,000 engineers.

• In addition, the consumption of tokens (energy and electricity related to it) also has its limits.

• Many people are starting to boycott AI. Today I read in a private message from a company profile: "Was about to sign up and noticed you use AI images, so decided not to"

I don t doubt that AI makes our lives easier and creates opportunities in many ways.

But don t you notice the fact that at a certain point it becomes unsustainable and disadvantageous?...

While building Jesse, I talked with a ton of founders, builders and asked about their experience with the best and worst lead gen tools they have used.
I am curious to know the opinion of this group on this matter.
Some common ones that many use today are:
> Apollo
> Clay
> Lusha
> Zoominfo
Feel free to name and mention any other tools that you have come across.

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)
