In a car world, riding a bike is free but acquiring a bike is incredibly expensive because they are not mass produced and are instead a luxury that rich people pay for to get a single bike manufactured for them.
The equivalent is that in the future, most open source dies, and the little open source software that remains is low-level, systems critical. And so, if you want to write code, you must first use an LLM to make you a compiler for your desired language that works in [insert future pc architecture] as any of the old 2026 era compilers stopped working decades ago. If you don't have enough tokens for that, tough luck.
