It’s hard to manage because it’s not intelligent in a predictable way. More like a genius toddler

I have seen a lot of companies start with this, then when they hit 150 users on their team plan and start having to pay API rates they immediately start introducing other models.

You should be running your agent in a box so that’s not really a risk

That example is a good reason nominal GDP has limits on what it can measure, as a drive thru Mississippi would show a poor state with small pockets of wealth

yeah but the size of the us healthcare sector (like 18%) is a policy choice, other developed countries have theirs at 10-12%.

U.S. healthcare is a giant predatory clusterfuck and seems impossible to meaningfully reform.

A lot of these markets aren't really functioning when there are many middlemen that have an 2-4 company oligopoly that choke out any actual competition.

The problem is that half the political system thinks you can cut taxes and grow revenues.

Which is an intentional strategy to repeal social programs that they’d never get the votes to do so via legislation

The value of the company and lapses in governance have nothing to do with each other. One does not disprove the other
