I get incredible utility out of $200 per month It's hard to put a number on it, but even accounting for all the time in meetings, talking with stakeholders and developers etc I'm over 10% more productive overall. I earn substantially more than $2000/month, the ROI is there It's only expensive compared to the currently very strong offering from OpenAI. Or other models - my hobby projects are all on DeepSeek

What you’re saying is that they should be charging $2000 or more per month then. Perhaps that’s true, but it’s a price tag that’s a lot harder to swallow for many orgs than $200/mo, and would require some hard justification for how your increased productivity contributes to the business bottom line. I’ll agree that you can probably do that with hard numbers. I am skeptical that most $200/mo users could.

I think the rapid improvements in local models will make a $2,000/mo price point completely impossible to sustain. This feels like a race to the bottom.

They paid $1.5 billions in July . Keep ignoring facts and believe in some nonsense

That was a one time payment. Another example of America exceptionalism assuming its a periodic payment like paying rent. look how they give money to publishers who then give back crumbs to the authors themselves.

Who told you it’s periodic ? To find a stolen book in llm is very easy . And if you break same rules twice any judge will fine you more for that .

  You break you pay .

That’s why in the western world you got book publishers . They have lawyers etc .

If you prefer Chinese way : laugh at anyone who is taking about copyright , whether that a book , a model , or manufacturing secrets in eu , us or whatever sure .

A family business of my friend in eu was destroyed due to stealing until every single bolt position design of their system by China . They had no legal protection .

Keep calling rule of law vs no such rules an American exceptionalism .

When they do that they pay billions . Unlike China. That’s the order of law vs bunch of companies in a totalitarian government

They are not paying billions anymore. They just switched to buying and then destroying books. Arguably that's worse than training off of Anna's archive which Chinese companies still do. This comment is another example of American exceptionalism.

You know that buying a book vs buying a license is a very different purchase right ? And it does not work legally this way . Stop spreading made up stories

Can you really hold them responsible for book burning when they’re being compelled to do so by governmental laws? Seems like you should be pointing your finger at lawmakers, if anywhere.

You pay royalties to your publisher . They monitor situation , if a model has unfair amount of context about the book they bring you to court . Once they win they spread some money between owners + keep some money to fight future violations on the scale since it’s profitable for book publishers.

It’s economically lucrative for everyone in that chain to attack again and again ai vendors , unless they are in China . In this case they can only cry .

I use Claude and Antigravity CLI as an (Arch) Linux desktop system administrator a lot lately. Is Codex useful for that too?

Not sure what Antigravity is, but Sol is good at sysadmin tasks.

Antigravity (at least Antigravity CLI which I use) is the CLI coding (?) agent harness from Google that uses Gemini as the model. There are other models available but I haven't tried them.
