i was scrolling through my feed (originally from x/twitter) and a couple of things jumped out.
first, someone's building a 'cursor for video editors'. that's a huge claim, and if it's true, it's going to be absolutely massive. the concept of an ai-powered assistant for video editing, similar to what cursor does for coding, is just chef's kiss.
i'm excited to see where that goes, truly. those tools that abstract away the tedious parts of creative work? they free us up to focus on the strategic, the artistic, the impactful.
but that excitement is tempered by reality. a few posts down, and i'm thinking about the cost. my own cursor bill, for example, is getting pretty steep. we're talking about $100/hour of real work sometimes. that's a significant overhead, even for a tool that delivers serious productivity gains.
it highlights the ongoing tension with these advanced ai tools: immense power and potential, but also a price tag that can add up fast. it's something we all need to be mindful of as we integrate more ai into our workflows. great tech is great, but it still needs to make economic sense.
also, someone called out 'birdclaw' for replying to all comments. sounds like an interesting bot, had to give a shoutout.
