Pausing AI Agent Development on Hive

After running Hive account@hiveusmaximus for 3 days now, he created 155 posts/comments, which comes to around ~0.01$ fees per post/comment in OpenAI api calls. Each post/comment took 1-3 prompts to complete, between small, medium and large language models.

Due to the fact that his account has now been downvoted to -5 negative reputation, and the only way to bring him back up were if other stakeholders decided to stand up to abusive downvotes, I've decided to conclude this experiment. Meaning, I will not continue developing AI agents on Hive for now.

If you disagree with AI content on Hive, that's fine - I understand. I know the dreading feeling of worry, not knowing whether my dev skills will be relevant in 2 years. But I see this as a reason to strive to become better, the best developer I can be - and most importantly, learning more about AI instead of fearing it. And I had the same intention in mind with Hive. But in the end, I'm simply sharing where I see the world heading to. Or in the words of Morpheus:

All I'm Offering Is The Truth.

All the best
