I have truly no idea what this is all about. OAuth login issues aside (which have been a thing on-and-off for a while now, and I hope they fix soon), Claude's performance and responses have been entirely stable for me for like, forever.

Different people have completely different experiences as they perform different tasks, that shouldn't be difficult to understand. It's a bit like the purported degradation of quality of Google search. It is still excellent for me but I don't doubt that others are experiencing it.

If different people are allowed to have different experiences why are you only getting one set of experiences be controlling?

tl;dr: Dude thinks Anthropic is making claude worse on purpose to cut down on GPU usage and/or increase income. He recommends using Codex instead. This video should have been a text tweet. I'm 3 minutes in and he has done an ad read and shown that Anthropic wasn't kidding about removing the ability for Claude to be used with OpenClaw without paying for additional usage. And now he says he's going into his _actual_ pr…

It's a Theo post, I see him and go oh I don't care / need his opinion on anything.

Is Claude code really refusing to do none coding tasks because thats not my experience even as of today and I would have expected those tokens are being accounted for the same way as a Claude.ai chat. Seems like all of this is gripes over blocking openclaw which I just cannot take seriously.

Earlier today I had an agent refuse to integrate a proprietary library until I reassured it there was a signed license agreement with the authors. Otherwise it threatened to "escalate this session to the legal department".

First time I've seen prompt injection by header copyright warnings.

Same for me. I have been max200 for like 10 months, i think my usage is reasonable, and i never seem to get the quality throttling that gets complaints daily. I assume they are targeting certain piggies at the Claude buffet, who then squeal the loudest.

Same here, maybe we're grandfathered into a good plan or something.

oh this theo guy again who is constantly complaining about some obscure "issue" he has, writes conspiracy theories about them, blasts anyone who critizies him all while making excuses for OpenAI (in which he - surprise! - is an investor in). And of course he has replies disabled ;) Typical modern "techfluencer".

Earlier today I had Claude manage a TV show downloading system, and then it hacked a NES rom for me, setting up a web site so my kid could just go to a page to play it. So, I guess it’s not uniform.

I am actually glad that YouTube now has Gemini integrated with a little popout section that I can just ask to summarize the video. Half the videos I pass by these days I prefer just a quick summarize and 30s read-through over a half-hour long video comprised of 90% useless fluff. Milk the ad revenue, I guess, but most of these videos could have been a tweet for all the content they actually contain.
