Instead, put $10 on a variety of platforms for API access. Then use a GUI front-end such as MSTY, LMStudio or AnythingLLM to access local and remote LLMs. For the occasional situations where that doesn't work due to limitations of the front-end, use the free online versions of the frontier models.
Paying $20/month for this or that platform is ridiculous, let alone multiple platforms.
I put $10 on DeepSeek, asked it questions for two months using MSTY - and spent THREE CENTS! API access is incredibly cheap. A million tokens is around 750,000 words. That's a lot to burn through per month - so you won't.
I don't read too many and try to always have a handful of projects I'm working on. If anything, my own newsletter is a challenge for me to demonstrate to others what *I* have learned
The biggest shift for me was dropping the “google 2.0” and always asking it to interview me
Ask Me Anything ftw
Do NOT subscribe to ANY platform.

Prices for Gemini are also cheap. OpenAI just dropped its pricing by 80%.
Do you think a non-technical person could do this? I’ve tried but the overhead to just get started is too much
How do you handle newsletter overwhelm and finding actionable advice for your recommendations?
