void means it's not legal and it's more or less as if the text there where just void/blank you can't violate a void clause in TOS or a contract so you can't get a ban/termination for violating a void clause they still can decide to not do business with you, after providing all service you already payed for and that is _if_ you can decide to not to business with individuals without providing a reason, in certain situa…

yes, less private people but definitely companies

e.g. YT had been forced to reinstate (and not shadow ban) channels in the EU multiple times because judges ruled that terminations did not had legal basis and they don't have the right to arbitrarily refuse doing business with the people in question (for various reasons, including but not limited to it being clearly a retaliation for suing for right you have. Through the market dominant position of YT also played a non negligible role there).

Or in other words, by itself it might not mean much but in combination with other laws, especially iff claude code because the marked dominant AI editor.

This idea comes around every few months, but nobody can document it in tests (apart from the actually broken services that get fixed in a couple of days). Have you got repeatable cases where it can be shown?

I've had a 100% benchable case in the past, though it wasn't really a degradation in terms of output quality per se, it was (an undocumented and unacknowledged) permanent degradation in maximum output length. From one day to the next, 100% of prompts where we'd ask for e.g. 15 sections, would only do 10 sections and then ask "Would you like me to continue?". Which is in a way quality, but generally not something that…

I can’t speak to any kind of identifiable pattern but man that behavior drives me up the wall when it happens.

When I run into a specific task that starts to trigger that behavior, even a clean session with explicit instructions directing it to complete ALL sub steps isn’t enough to push it to finish the entire request to the end.

I like how I can cycle through agents in OpenCode using tab. In CC all my messages get interpreted by the "main" agent; so summoning a specific agent still wastes main agent's tokens. In OpenCode, I can tab and suddenly I'm talking to a different agent; no more "main agent" bs.

Maybe not quite as simple but you can save and /resume lots of sessions in CC and switch between them quickly.

I thought of that! but CC is so clunky and slow that it doesn't make sense to do this. with codex cli tho, that's a totally different story cause it's written in Rust.
