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?...
Most of the time, when I'm working on my own, I miss the feeling I'm not alone in the difficult moments, especially when I'm stagnating or the results tend to decline.
When you have a co-founder, it's a little better.
Maybe there are support groups for solo-founders (like build in public)
Or there are meetups, online networking/calls, where you get advice.
Or do you solve it with a partial "step back"
Where do you look for support and redirection? (Personally, I wouldn't want to slip into talking to ChatGPT.) :D
