  • They certainly don’t want people running their own models but it’s a stretch to say they orchestrated it rather than it being a side effect of what they were doing anyway.

    In any case I’m largely referring to what we have been told by independent researchers. Yes anyone in the field should be taken with a grain of salt but it is far more ridiculous to make entire conclusions based on nothing but vibes and a dislike of AI.






  • Sure, but assuming we can trust what we have been told so far. Regardless IPO is very soon, there they can’t easily lie or hide anything. If the first part is meant to be “see, you agree”, my point is the amount they need to change by isn’t necessarily as big as some might think.

    In any case what happens is what happens, I just like to weigh as much evidence as possible when looking at these things before making assumptions.


  • It’s not as bad as you think. Anthropic is running at a loss at max usage. Openai isn’t. And even Anthropic profits if you use 20% of your quota or less each month. They would only have to move the price up if it became a real issue. Or cut usage cap down (that’s mostly how openai does it, $20 gets you less total tokens, there’s nuance to whether this is automatically worse though). But not as dramatically as you might think. It would lock out many hobbyists, but not companies that have come to rely on it.


  • I have it create things for me that I would otherwise never have. I wanted an app for dream tracking. They were either pay walled, didn’t have the features I wanted, or both. Ai created what I wanted in a weekend. That’s just one example. I’ve created many single use apps as well.

    If I’m at a takeaway store I take a photo of the board and it makes me an interactive menu that totals the price of what everyone wants and let’s us browse without trying to see the board and get in people’s way.

    I don’t expect anyone else to use these. I don’t expect anyone else to want to use them. Though they’re welcome to. But if I can have a thing create exactly what I want and use it why not?

    “but what if it has a bug and you lose a year of journals”. Well it created me manual timestamped backups as well as automatic timestamped backups to oauth Dropbox in a dedicated folder without the app having access to the rest of my Dropbox. It could crash everything and I would have every single thing safe in 2 places up to the most recent entry. And they’re just text files. I could take them anywhere if AI disappeared and the app broke tomorrow. I could just continue writing in notepad in the worst case until I found something else. But the app looks nicer and does interesting things.

    The alternative to this isn’t me learning to code and spending months creating them. The alternative is them never existing.
