Is it time for a new benchmark of "how easy is it to turn this AI into a 4chan poster", maybe it is since this seems to be an axis that Elon seems to want to distinguish his AI offering from everyone else's along.

Luckily we don't need a benchmark for "how easy is it to turn this AI into a bluesky poster", since they can all already do that

In your mind, what's a bluesky poster?

Claude Code converted me from paying $0 for LLMs to $200 per month. Any co that wants a chance at getting that $200 ($300 is fine too) from me needs a Claude Code equivalent and a model where the equivalent's tools were part of its RL environment. I don't think I can go back to pasting code into a chat interface, no matter how great the model is.

How does Claude code, trained to use its tools, compare to a model agnostic equivalentsuch as aider? Have you tried both?

There seems to be some love for opencode.ai

Those comments... Wild what some people are willing to post under their real name -- and their employer's name.

I mean I could have just looked at your post history and assumed a political ideology, but I just wanted to see how unfunny your jokes would be.

My work here is done.

How does Claude Code at $200 compare to their basic one, at $20?

It's exactly the same, but the $20 one will almost certainly run out of its daily token alliance if you try to use it for more than an hour or so.

The token allowance is in 5 hour sessions.

The $20 one doesn't have Opus. (This might or might not matter but it's a difference).

There's also a $100 version that's indeed the same as the $200 one but with less usage.

Wow that sure doesn't sound forced at all. Did blaming things on Reddit go out of fashion in your circles or something? Or was the pull of keeping to microblogging platforms just this strong?
