The $1-a-Day AI That Makes Frontier Models Obsolete

After a month of testing, DeepSeek v4 flash at $1/day doubled productivity β€” and felt identical to frontier models costing 10x more. The real AI disruption isn’t about making you a faster supervised developer. It’s about eliminating supervision entirely. Here’s why that changes everything.

Stop Asking If AI Can Think. The Real Question Is Whether You Can.

We are terrified of AI gaining consciousness, but the computational theory of mind reveals a darker truth: you are just code running on meat. Your thoughts, feelings, and sense of self are nothing more than information processing. The hard problem of consciousness isn’t about machines waking upβ€”it’s about realizing you are the machine you fear.
