>their subscription now goes way further than OpenAI or Anthropic. Until it doesn't... Honestly, this entire OpenAI reset credit fiasco this past week has convinced me to rip off the Codex and Claude Code bandaids and start building my own proper Pi Coding Agent running models that I select and pay for on openrouter. And I am feeling a lot better about it now that I've finally got it working.

>Until it doesn't... I don't get the point of this. We all seem to agree that these companies have almost no moat, if one stops being a good deal, you can switch to another. That doesn't invalidate the existence of a deal that is currently good.

No, it doesn't.

My point was that chasing deals like this is just kicking the can down the road. You're going to have to reckon with harsh price increases sooner or later.

So I have resolved to avoid that future-dreading and fixed it, basically.

I have. He was using it due to philosophical reasons the same way many people have philosophical reasons for avoiding it. I don't know how many people are like that, but it's not exactly where you want to position your product if you're a business. Personally - and I know I'm not alone with this sentiment based on comments I see on this site - I wouldn't touch Grok no matter how good or cheap it is. I don't trust Elo…

everyone interferes with elections. you just prefer people to interfere on your side.

I think you are confusing the words interfere and influence.

Can someone explain to me what's the point of Grok anymore? I don't understand why we need a third or fourth closed frontier model. It is clear that chatGPT has locked down the consumer play, and may be Gemini is there. Claude has enterprise locked up, followed by chatGPT and Gemini. Enterprise switching costs are notoriously high, and even if they switch, they have chatGPT or Gemini to choose from. Beyond that, you…

grok offers a team subscription which respects user privacy and does not send your prompts out to a team for moderation.

that alone makes it the closed source subscription i would choose. claude and openai are spying on you.

as it stands i don't have it because the reasoning is encrypted, so i feel that it still is not working for me, it's two faced.

Interestingly, deleting this line "fixed" it: >The response should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated. Interestingly, "politically incorrect" is a double negative that simplifies to "true".

Not sure if you are memeing since this is an Elon quote... > Interestingly, "politically incorrect" is a double negative that simplifies to "true". Only if you like generic Twitter quips, logical fallacies and ignoring context for anything remotely nuanced.

It's neither an Elon quote nor a logical fallacy. I came up with it myself all by myself. Seek help for your MDS.

The main issue I have with grok is that Musk, its owner, did 2x seig heil at the presidential inauguration, and proceeded to gaslight the world about it (this is a strong form of dogwhistling, kind of a dog bullhorn). Therefore all services which have anything to do with Musk are ineligible for use - they are directly funding the worst kind of person.

And don’t get me started on Volkswagen and Disney

But can you trust any number or metric coming out of SpaceX given everything? Also you mean their own compute like the illegal data centre turbines ? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/15/elon-musk...

"everythin you don't like" is not a scientific argument, neither is the illegality of data centers on AI quality

So you’re asserting that the ends justify the means or?

I’m confused by how your reply makes sense in the context of the parent comment. They weren’t stating a preference, they were linking to simple facts.

Please do better.

My entire digital existence for the last 20 years or so has been a parasitical relationship with VC funding. They keep throwing money at business models that involve building market share and I keep benefiting. It hasn't stopped working yet.

Elon did that twice, actually, in real life!

It's wild that redditors still believe this.

The reason it is so believable is that he did it and it happened, in public.

He contributes to this understanding by straight-forwardly promoting and agreeing with white nationalists and even straight-up neo-nazi accounts on twitter, and by promoting neo-nazi aligned political parties.

I've been using grok 4.5 with grok build soon after it came out and dropped claude. primarily for personal code. It communicates better. While that might not sound like a big deal it is. It doesn't give me a wall of text, tells me what I need to know and I'll make the actual decisions. It is very quick as well which means the sessions are far more interactive, I'll be steering it more. I sometimes cross check with co…

Out of interest, do Musk's politics impact your decision on whether or not to use Grok? I'd be interested to know where folks lie on the (Agree / Disagree) and (Use / Don't use) axes.
