> The timing of these price cut discussions says to me OpenAI has no imminent release that will be edging out Mythos/Fable. Initially I had the same thought but I think this might actually have more to do with Fable being removed fr

This is true of course and I don’t think these heavily subsidized plans will be around forever, but at the same time OpenAI is just less compute constrained than Anthropic right now as well so they’re in a stronger position to be able to of

It’s gotten better within the last month or so but historically there’s been an excessive amount of anti-OAI and pro-Anthropic activity on this site as well and I’ve seen numerous posts get downvoted and almost instantly flagged for calling

If you’re letting Claude code just handle secrets like this you’re already fucked from a security standpoint so I don’t really see the big deal here Today it was the Vercel plugin but if you’re letting an LLM agent with access to bash and t

Israel has a disproportionately large amount of tech companies for its size and he took one photo with their leader. I have no idea why everyone on the internet wants to endlessly seethe about this & personally attack Guillermo for it a

I would switch to Cursor 3 in a heartbeat if it supported Claude Agent SDK (w/ Claude Max subscription usage) and/or Codex the way that similar tools like Conductor do And I would happily pay a seat based subscription fee or usage

If things continue to get worse I really worry how many people might give up on life entirely. A lot of people in this industry don’t have a whole lot else going on for them, myself included. I grinded my 20s away trying to have a successfu

These are kind of unrelated issues. You’re right that it used to be companies just didn’t want to be involved in war at all, & generally speaking that isn’t going to cause issues. The core of the issue here is having a private company w

They would never do this because the entire point of the company is to try and control what AI is allowed to do, who is allowed to use it, and what they’re allowed to do with it. The overarching philosophy of Anthropic is explicitly opposed

It’s hard to say exactly what prompted the decision but they banned people paying $200/mo without warning & without any reasonable appeal system in place. It’s a Google form that is itself reviewed by some automated system that may

There’s plenty of straightforward reasons why OpenAI would want to do this, it doesn’t need to be some sort of malicious conspiracy. I think it’s good PR (particularly since Anthropics actions against OpenCode and Clawdbot were somewhat con

As an example, this is the exact type of thing Anthropic doesn’t want you to be able to build with Claude & it’s why they want you on their proprietary tooling: https://builders.ramp.com/post/why-we-built-our-backgr

Yes but why are they subsidizing the pricing and requiring to use their closed source client to benefit from it? It’s the same reason the witch in the story of Hansel and Gretel was giving out free candy.

by jrsj 8mo ago
They wouldn’t require you to use their closed source client if they weren’t planning on using it to extract value from you later. It’s still early & a lot more capabilities are going to be coming to these tools in the coming months. Cla

I’m starting to think you’re right but only because software engineers don’t seem to actually value or care about open source anymore. Apparently we have collectively forgotten how bad it can be to let your tools own you instead of the othe

If you’ve only got a CLAUDE.md and sub agent definitions in markdown it is pretty easy to do at the moment, although more of their feature set is moving in a direction that doesn’t have 1:1 equivalents in other tools. The client is closed s

by jrsj 8mo ago
It might make sense from Anthropics perspective but as a user of these tools I think it would be a huge mistake to build your workflow around Claude Code when they are pushing vendor lock in this aggressively. Making this mistake could end

The people defending Anthropic because “muh terms of service” are completely missing the point. These are bad terms. You should not accept these terms and bet the future of your business on proprietary tooling like this. It might be a good

There is technology that can greatly benefit solopreneurs, but it isn’t AI. It’s just an evolution of the same tech that has been a huge benefit to early stage projects for awhile now. Knowing what you’re doing with highly productive tools

Yeah I really don’t get why people keep hyping AI like this. It really doesn’t make things go that much faster. At best you’re able to generate prototypes more quickly + get better autocomplete. Nothing particularly revolutionary there. Any

The delays have nothing to do with it being in Ohio, and the CHIPS Act didn’t dictate where these would be built. Intel picked the site, just like TSMC and others picked theirs. Cost of land, energy, labor, etc all taken into account. The “

Elixir is a little less flexible since it doesn’t have the JVM interop but for domains where it’s a good fit I think it’s even better at most of this stuff (and easier to teach people unfamiliar with FP or lisps)
