Question for ChatGPT iPhone users: have you figured out when to use Chat and when to use Work yet? What kind of tasks are you switching to Work for? Have you made Work your default?

Software engineers burning out thanks to using AI coding tools is becoming a major problem I don't see anyone talk about all that much. There's some "vampire effect" in these tools, and it drains a lot of devs.
This video by @stolinski is a very good and important one, to start:
This is the most important video I've ever made.
In this, I explore the negative and positive mental health effects of AI coding, with data and expert commentary.

F*cking annoying that both Spotify and YT take over the links you share in other apps. Messaged a YT link to a friend and YT app notified me that some kid i don’t know accepted the chat. Panicked and had to ask my friend if it’s him. Turns out it’s a friend of his kid
It's wild that you can now tweak your coding agents to your liking. Just like you can tweak your terminal.
At least Claude Code. You have prompts, hooks, plugins, status line, commands, sub agents at your disposal.
Why do devs always overcomplicate?
Like for example with vibe coding. First they can't prompt properly and get bad results. Then they solve the problem by generating 1K lines monster prompts with AI and feed it back to AI and think they will get good results.
Never works
Excited to announce our $5.5 million raise @GovSignals.
We're building the best Government Contracting platform on the market. Super proud of our team and excited for the story ahead — let's redefine trillions in government spending.
If intersection of AI x Government is interesting to you, shoot me a DM.
Introducing GovSignals and announcing our $5.5 million dollar raise from @Unusual_VC!
Trillions of dollars every year are often going to large, non innovative incumbents. Yet infrastructure projects are falling behind & our national defense is at risk from our adversaries. Where is all the money going, and how do we bring the best solutions to government?
GovSignals is building to fix Government Contracting and bring the most innovative solutions back to America.
LLMs are super expensive to train but how much does it cost to run inference on them? Are there any known examples or guesses of the actual average monthly costs?
@a16z estimates LLM inference costs dropped 10x yearly e.g. GPT-3 went from $60/million tokens in 2021 to $0.06 today. Together.ai’s Llama 3.2 3B achieves similar results at minimal cost.
For monthly costs, depends on usage: 1B tokens/month ≈ $60 (GPT-4-level). >>
Sometimes when I talk to people I think about what medieval cloth they would wear and what their trade would be
Yes we live in an AI bubble but many don't realize how much AI helped propell surrounding technologies and design forward.
AI forced web frameworks to become good at streaming and realtime.
UI and UX changed. Voice and image over textboxes, smart loaders, etc
Damn YT's algos are good. I came to look up a specific thing only to stay watching random videos for 20 minutes. And then I tried to remember what I actually came for
