I am stunned.

But in terms of value for the money, there's a few things in the tech business that many of us agree are great values.

I think one of those is paying for the no ads thing on YouTube, whatever they call it this year.

That is obviously a great buy.

And I think number two thing is whatever your AI of choice is,

Buy whatever their $20-ish a month plan is that gets you access to the good models and removes restrictions and stuff.

Oh my god.

Honestly, I haven't actually used Cloud Code yet.

I've used Cloud, but I haven't used Cloud Code.

But I'm trying Gemini for certain things.

I'm still a very heavy ChatGPT user.

Earlier today, I got a statement for a retirement account that I have.

And I wanted...

to understand better some of the acronyms and numbers that were on it.

And so I just, I scanned it and I took a screenshot without any of like my account numbers, just like the middle of the paper that shows like, you know, this table of values and headings and stuff.

And I pasted it into ChatGPT and I said, can you explain this to me and tell me what this means for this year and what this number means over here?

Like, and it gave me this entire breakdown of what every single term means and how these numbers work out over time and what, you know, what the different aspects, pros and cons of different things are.

And I'm like,

this is amazing as far as you know but like this like again like i know this is not this is not about my experience with ai this week but my experiences with ai continue to be extremely positive and i cannot tell you the difference it is making in my life the more the more i like the the walls are coming down in terms of figuring information out and even though it isn't always 100 right it's right a lot and it's amazing a lot

But it's right so often.
