I keep running into the same thing with AI tools: they’re powerful, but everything around them feels rationed. Token buckets, session limits, weird pricing. It’s like using a prepaid SIM card.

I dug into the economics behind it and ended up writing a long piece about the “scarcity trap” we’re in right now. The short version: the whole stack is upside‑down, and GPU scarcity leaks into every layer above it.

If anyone here has been building real systems with AI, I’d be interested in your take. Tnx
