hiring someone to do a job is almost always easier than setting up an AI workflow right now. honestly probably cheaper too. do it anyway. a person doesn't get smarter every 3 months when a new model drops. a person doesn't scale to 10x the workload overnight by spinning up more compute. every AI workflow you build today is an asset that compounds. every hire is a fixed cost that doesn't. we're betting everything on AI infrastructure at Basedash and it's not even close.

@MaxMusing What are you doing to remove yourself from the company? To be clear, I understand your argument, but by extension, the optimal number of employees is zero, including the founder.

U sure? That person can improve their skills with AI and get access to better models. In the end good employee is priceless, but theres for sure decent chunk that do bare minimum for which ur argument might be valid. Sadly nobody has managed to design bullet proof interview process.

@MaxMusing ... When was the last time a model was that much better than the best from six months ago? 2024 or 2023? How much better does a human get better in 3 months at their job? Genuinely not sure about this take. I can go both ways on it.

@MaxMusing Built a workflow for content scheduling last year that took 3 weeks to set up - a contractor would've done it in 3 days. But now it runs 10 platforms and I haven't touched it in months, so... yeah, the setup cost is real, the "person doesn't scale" part is the whole point.

@MaxMusing I let go of an engineer because the opposite: harder for me to explain what I wanted than to do it myself

@MaxMusing Strong point, hiring may be easier now, but AI workflows compound and scale over time, making them powerful long-term assets. I’m available if you ever need support building or testing any AI workflows. Do you have any projects right now where you’re looking to implement this?
