Waiting for AI to make things cheaper! So far it’s made things more expensive with more subscription fees to access services. For example to use chatGPT you need to pay for power, internet, and these costs haven’t come down yet!
Where is the deflation?!!?
Ain’t ever going to happen!! The central banks will not allow deflation to occur because they and their allies make too much money when there is inflation. The people running these companies, the VCs and the banks will make sure that you and I pay and pay and pay. I don’t think falling into the convenience trap is a smart thing to do.

I think they've cost me additional time. When I used to just give up on a search pretty quickly, now I spend a little bit chatting with the LLM to refine my questions, and then spend even more time actually reading the sources it found.

Nope, that is much more expensive than anything else you can do!! Time is the value of your life. Stealing goods is stealing past time. Murder is stealing future time. And, waste is stealing present time.

A bit but even with the internet life isn’t getting cheaper. Things that matter have skyrocketed in price. Homes cars healthcare education all way more expensive. Yet what’s cheaper? Consumer goods but even then they aren’t that much cheaper.
I’m just waiting for high quality food to actually get cheaper. Will the internet and AI make a bag of organic apples ever cost $1 in today’s dollars?
