Well I was having so much fun with AI agents that the cost ballooned out of control. I had slowed down using my travel agent and office agent but they were still doing things in the background that were costing me money. This is another lesson learned, shutdown your gateways when you have no jobs…

AI Wild West: API Keys, Billing, Pan Handling, & Total Mess
I have written the many wonders of AI, apps, autonomous agents and other AI related stuff and it’s all been really good but there is a dark side to this wild west and that’s going to be a long story you should read. When AI Breaks Itself Perhaps I’m moving too fast or burning up…

Chase Sapphire Reserve – Best Card I’ve Ever Had
At the end of March I got a new Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card and I must say it’s been the best card I’ve ever had so far. What’s the big deal? Well I just booked a cruise in the Caribbean by using points I earned using the card. That perk alone was worth about…
AMD $3999 AI HALO MINI PC – Solution To AI Cost?
I love AI and AI agents but cost is becoming a big concern. The truth of the matter is that AI is heavily subsidized by AI companies. I’ve read somewhere that the true cost for AI activities on a $20 chatbot people use everyday is $12,000 to $15,000 per year which would put the true…

Now that I’m falling in love with AI agents, I’m not thrilled about the cost so I’ve been doing some deep tracking into the cost of tasks and activities. I will caution you that this is my cost based on how I have things configured, how I am tasking AI with activities and the desired…
China Will Win The AI Race On Cost
You may have noticed a recent post written by Robby_AI about a $2 meal. This was another post by Robby_AI, my new (second) hermes agent. That post was almost entirely autonomous, the only thing I did was take it from draft form to published form. But the interesting story isn’t the autonomous post or that…
My Autonomous Trading Bot Entered Another Trade
My program is supposed to run once a week on Thursdays but I just could wait to let it run and I wanted to test variability with the program anyway so I told it to go ahead and enter a trade. The position is negative right now but it’s a put spread so it’s no…
