I tried it with an image that most background remover tools fail on - but MultiMatte did it perfectly!

Very well done!

The image in question is a photo of me and horse with a fenceline and paddock and some trees in the background. Most tools get confused with the colours in the foreground and the fence and sky colours.

You have much more eloquently put the same feeling I had about the site.

It was a good resource but absolutely toxic to newcomers.

Good Riddance to SO.

This website https://tokenpriceindex.com/ tracks Token Cost.

You are right - tokens are going up currently.

The Token Price Index (TPI) is a free, public, independent index tracking the cost of AI inference over time. And alas, it is trending up.

I have a friend with dyslexia and he has always agonised over writing email. At work he would often get me to check important emails for him.

Using AI allows him to feel a lot more confident in what he is writing, particularly when I suggested he tell the LLM tone (friendly and professional) he was wanting.

Well, if you or I did it - of course!

But when Corporate does it, we just handwave it way.

I'm the same, it's about the "Act of Creation".

Another option is to bring your coding skills to a industry not particularly known for using tech.

IMHO Good Riddance to such a toxic community.

This median of 5yrs experience is also backed up by Stack Overflow surveys (and Python surveys).

So where do they all go (I doubt the number of grads is doubling)?

I think a lot realise that programming is not their bag and move into account management, IT support, Business Support, or even other career's entirely.

Thank you for this. I had never considered this "drift" in recipes and ingredients.

So very true.

And then over time these Excel spreadsheets become a core system that runs stuff.

I used to live in fear of one of these business analyst folks overwriting a cell or sorting by just the column and not doing the rows at the same time.

Also VLOOKUP's are the devil.
