This feels a lot like free spins in slot machines. I have a friend obsessed with using up all the Fable usage which supposedly ends today. He's doing a lot of stuff of questionable usefulness just because it's a resource perceived as scarce.

Yeah, it's the gacha of software development. I too redline my subscription every single week just because I want to get the most value out of the money I spent. Literally 100% weekly usage, every single week.

I am using the resulting software and documents though. I'm daily driving the projects I wrote with AI. Started new ones for fun, such as decompilation projects for my cherished childhood games. Hardened my router and my LAN. I just keep finding an unending amount of things to do.

It took over a month to complete a full Fable code review of my lone lisp project.

Why does Fable usage end today?!

Anthropic won't have anything competitive with OpenAI Sol and Kimi K3?

Yes Team is max 150 users (except maybe grandfathered accounts). The solution is to use individual Max plans, but then you miss Enterprise management features.

> then you miss Enterprise management features On the flip side you gain $9,800 a month.

Yeah makes sense to me

AI in general is a slot machine and it wouldn't surprise me if that was a large part of the psychosis. You prompt the lever, watch the display spin, and sometimes, just sometimes, a bunch of coins come out.

There's no psychosis in noting that something consistently produces good work, or in wanting to get the most out what is effectively an employee - hired for the price of the subscription. Seriously, if that's 'psychosis', then every employer on the planet eager to wring out productivity from their employees is afflicted with the same psychosis.

Isn't it rather a psychosis to insist that people are imagining the results they see, just because you don't like the tech and can't stomach the thought there might be something in it?

If they try to engage in monopolistic pricing, I'll simply start paying for GLM-5.2, K3, DeepSeek et al.

I cannot recommend enough OpenCode Go, which for 10 bucks a month lets you use all of them with pretty hefty limits. Use it while it lasts

$5 with a referral code for the first month.

You get $60 worth of usage. It’s too good to be true, yet it is.

Not to veer to far off topic, but do any of you long-term Codex users happen to know how long the Codex Resets can be banked for? I can find no indications of an expiration date in the TUI or on the Web App. From what I have searched, I have been getting somewhat mixed answers.

Anyway, I do appreciate how OpenAI seems to be far more generous with these resets than other providers. I've never come close to needing a reset yet. I have some tasks that I have been procrastinating, so my need for my resets might come in handy in the near future.

Can anyone explain how you “win” the market of super intelligence? Particularly with open weights models now rivaling the frontier, it seems like a race to the bottom even if the prices don’t yet reflect that.

Competitors run out of money and shut down, perhaps. Although I don't see how that happens for anyone but Google.

Do we all shift over to Chinese models.

All these resets are given because of rival competition. When they win the market, we are going to be squeezed $$$.

Don’t think of this as super intelligence. Think of it as vendor lock-in.

We have a good compare, which is cloud in the early 2000s.

Everyone (at the time) thought cloud compute costs would go to zero.

What most corporations didn’t realize is how entrenched your workflows and processes get when you adopt cloud and you become heavily locked in that ecosystem.

That same ecosystem lock-in is what the frontier labs are hoping for with AI.
