As an American, all I have to say is…. Yep

Start “open-ish”, gain traction, start abusing market position, start closing things off, become hostile to your customers…

But those aren’t the only two options. For people who only care deeply about one issue, if neither candidate is on your side, many will just stay home.

That was intentional. They were trying to word the announcement to not make it sound like you're now getting 1/5-1/9 as much AI for the same price.

I love that their email made it sound like it was a wash, like "we're just changing our billing model, you'll get credits now, samesies!" but then this pricing chart buried 3-levels down from the announcement lays out just how much less you're going to get for the same price.

I wonder about all the startups who were bragging about their $10k/month AI coding bills being the best money they ever spent. When this new pricing kicks in and pushes it to $40k/month right around the time all the vibe-coded shit blows up their codebase, I wonder if they'll still be so happy with their choices.

I interviewed for a place a while back and started asking about quality and velocity and how they balance it with AI developer tools, he said something like "One of our developers closed 400 PRs last month" and I instantly knew it was definitely not the place for me.

Shun the nonbelievers

This dude thinks aspirin causes autism but then complains we're not approving enough drugs. That tapeworm really did a number on this guy.

This is like The Washington Post (owned by Bezos) with articles about how billionaires shouldn't be taxed

When you're deranged they let you do it.

Maybe he needs a 2nd gold-plated jumbo jet?

I'll remember this in 12 months when 50% of new LLMs are still getting the "I want to wash my car, the car wash is 100 yards from my house, should I walk or drive?" question wrong. I mean, they'll add that one to the training data so they'll probably be getting that one right by then, but there will always be examples of why THESE THINGS AREN'T INTELLIGENT.

I use LLMs quite a bit, they're neat tools and helpful, but anyone who tries to say they're AGI is either an idiot or just too heavily invested in the bubble.
