• Stop Copying AI Workflows From People With Unlimited Tokens — (idea · AI) workflow advice inherits the author’s cost structure; loops are a slot machine on retail plans — Ras Mic, Startup Ideas Podcast
• The One Agent Loop Worth Copying Scores Its Own Work — (idea · Automation) the gp-loop blueprint: score threshold + max retries + batch limit — Ras Mic, Startup Ideas Podcast
