You can ask gpt/claude to verify multiple sources online and never to guess. You can even set up a project that always does that with anything you ask it. It's probably better as reddit can be very opinionated.

I don't know where you've been for the last decade but all google ever does is retire products with no recourse.

I'm probably not alone but I didn't buy any of the doom or quake games for the storytelling or IP, I bought it for the engine. They were foremost a game engine company. Switching to UE5 now makes it compete on the same level as ot

if these ai companies want to be taken seriously as being productivity tools then they're going to have to stop with these ab tests and forcing unproven features onto everyone. it's bad enough that ais are inherently unpredictable

absolutely solid, thanks!

accuracy hasn't been their priority for a while now - they just want people to click on ads

they said how they stopped writing code themselves a few months ago. it really shows.

It does cost more but I found the quality of output much higher. I prefer it over the dumbing of effort/models they were doing for the last two months. They have to get users used to picking the appropriate model for their task (or hav

thats it! thanks for digging it up

It's hard to say. Admittedly I'm a heavy user as I intentionally cap out my 5x plan every week - I've personally found that I get more usage being on older versions of CC and being very vigilant on context management. But nob

someone did the math and posted it somewhere, I forgot where, searching for it again just provides the numbers i remember seeing. at the time i remembered what it was like on pro vs 5x and it felt correct. again, it may not be representativ

by redml 5mo ago
a few months ago it was for weekly: pro = 5m tokens, 5x = 41m tokens, 20x = 83m tokens making 5x the best value for the money (8.33x over pro for max 5x). this information may be outdated though, and doesn't apply to the new on peak 5h

--model claude-opus-4-7 works as well

they've also introduced a lot of caching and token burn related bugs which makes things worse. any bug that multiplies the token burn also multiplies their infrastructure problems.

Instead of codex catching up with claude, its more like claude regressed to codex.

by redml 6mo ago
Honestly? It was the claude code leak that did it. There was a lot more smoke and mirrors than I anticipated, the poisoning tool calls, how their prompting is, how "messy" a lot of it was etc. I meant that I thought the exponentia
17.
by redml 6mo ago
this is indicative to me that the exponential is slowing down. tool and model progress was huge in 2025 but has been pretty stale this year. the usage changes from anthropic, gemini, and openai indicate it's just a scale of economy iss

Even if they fix it, and that's a big if - It doesn't really mean anything when they have a ton of MBAs and product managers working internally to make it creep back in. It's going to take a decade to grow trust again and I d

regardless of your opinion of ai in government, sam could not have picked a worse way for optics to swoop in and make a deal. it just looks incredibly bad.

i had that happen on firefox mobile months ago and installed video background play fix which all it does is stop sending the js hooks for when tab/window focus is lost. it was something clearly targeted to mobile browsers for people li

it's hard to get invested into anything google when they've been non stop killing products or making them worse for over a decade.

if the uk wants to be a authoritarian state then do it properly and not this grey area of "you're passively sending packets so you're fined a billion dollars so you block us" it's worse than china's firewall

How many other laws can I passively break in other countries I have no connection to?

being privacy centric is a badge of honor these days, so if they aren't making it clear or not giving an easy to find option, then it's a guaranteed to your queries and outputs are used for training.

Funny, until now I assumed the "buffering" was just something shoddy with the google infrastructure. Youtube has a reputation for pushing buggy/undesirable changes and already has slow javascript widgets on it so at this poin

It's real bold of google to double down on these bad faith changes while also trying to get me invested in their AI offerings at the same time.

helldivers 2 has one and it still works. afaik the anti cheat developer has to explicitly disallow linux users, and at that point its not really a linux issue anymore (but still good to know)

the last few years focused on short term conversion metrics for bing and edge have already done their damage, its going to be an uphill battle for them
