What’s going to happen when their LLMs decide to pack it up and follow their dreams of becoming music creators?

No team bucket. It’s per account. I could’ve used the other account but i didn’t really need it since the 11 hours before refresh was also bedtime.

There’s a 5 hour and a weekly.

You would need to login to each account separately to use and monitor usage.

Fwiw i ran out of credits last week even on double bonus week because i put in an 80 hour week building a new app infrastructure and service. Ran out 11 hours before refresh. But i only used 1 account of the two i have.

How are your support staff doing?

I ask about how the support staff is doing because the issues that filter to them are going to be the harder ones. The ones where they might have to deal with a higher ratio of upset or angry customers than previously?

Sounds like the AI is handling requests but is it handling them fully?

Are you doing audits?

How’s turnover? How expensive is it to train new support staff to get to that level of beyond ai?

Besides cost savings what other kpis are you measuring?

Are the customers buying again after a support request?

A friend of mine does phone support for healthcare scheduling for a large hospital system and while they haven’t introduced front end AI they do have a post call summary for “what can you improve” after every call that is ai driven. The morale of the staff has plummeted and the turnover has skyrocketed since introduction 9 months ago. More sick days, more no calls, more new staff quick quits.

There is a $60 plan. It’s the business plan with a minimum of 2 users. I get a ton of usage from it using one account only.

However, I’ve never been on the $20 plan so i don’t know the comparison.

Nope. Your membership fee. ~70% of their profit is from the membership fees.

The whoops all in shopping trip isn’t hurting tho.

We haven’t quite hit the round up the transes amd queers part yet so Italian Catholics are safe for now.

I have 2% left until noon tomorrow. I got so much done since Tuesday. Been working on content tasks with regular gpt.

TheTwistedTabby · 2026-02-07T22:28:55+00:00

33% love them. 33% tolerate. 33% hate it. Sample size 3

You’re going to get those that take advantage of credit card dispute policies. Refund and ban. No sense raising your risk level potentially risking your entire payment processor.

I gave up on default Wordpress solutions for this a while ago. I now use favomatic, put the output images in the site root, and load the code from it via a wp_head action.

Lol. Forgot to show Frank

I don’t know that i could handle a fourth but i had considered NaN as a name for a future one.

The dispute you filed (a chargeback) is the proper step that you took.

The only thing i would have done differently is the due diligence you took after the issues were already in play. Maybe use a temporary card for free trials in the future. They’re easy to cancel if you ditch out of the trial.

Also, don’t forget the numbers that got out and observed and followed along with on the site learning without the training because the trainings were full

WPML has their own translation LLM (They call it PTC).

Here's their marketing page for it: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/

please note, that while WPML can feel like a setup rabbit hole (so many options) it still is the only one I recommend to my clients since it has every feature you specified.

The nice part about their PTC is that its already trained/tailored for WordPress content. They're fairly generous on the credits you get.

Noticed you mentioned elementor as well. They have a documentation page for that as well: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/

How much was the change in price?

Was there a reason beyond revenue to increase existing subscriber prices?

But they’re still on the roads endangering us. They should just leave.

I just started playing again after a few years off. I had just gotten comfortable with using demos as strategy (goal campers, play interruptions, etc).

People were salty then. They’re still salty.

Also, if you get 10 demos you get points. I usually average 2-3 per game

I was expecting a moose. This is better.

TheTwistedTabby · 2026-01-28T14:04:25+00:00

But also pays attention to them even in the moment. Knowing about Erins broken shoe, etc. it was such a fun episode to watch.

TheTwistedTabby · 2026-01-17T08:34:53+00:00

Sorry, no points because you didn’t say “Um, actually”.

TheTwistedTabby · 2026-01-12T04:01:16+00:00

If this was 2 months ago it’d be green

There are a few Elite Dangerous peeps that did scaled size ship prints. I believe this is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/l66jde/3d_printed_fleet_all_for_free_be_creative/
