There is a chef, he opens a restaurant. Delicious food. It costs him more in ingredients alone than he charges. He even offers some pseudo unlimited buffet, combo sets, and happy hours. He announced a new restaurant, apparently it will be even better, so good he's a bit worried. He makes sure to share his worries while he picks a few select enterprise for business parties and the likes. In the meantime he cracks down…

This is close, but the real problem isn’t that the food is underpriced, it’s that the supply of ingredients is severely limited.

Those are the same thing

claude -p not working would be instant unsubscribe downgrade from Max to Pro and further drive my use of codex. I use both but overall have noticed I reach for Claude less than codex lately because claude keeps getting slower and slower (I have not noticed a drop off in quality, but I use it less and less so maybe I'm not in a good position to notice). Generally I find codex and claude make a good team. I'm not a hea…

I might consider switching to codex from claude pro 20x but I need the post tool use, pre file write and post user message hooks. Waiting on codex to deliver. - pre file write -> block editing code files without a task and plan of work - post tool use -> show next open checkbox in the task to the agent, like an instruction pointer - post user message -> log all user messages for periodic review of intent alignment Th…

I am cooking up an abstraction that enables these hooks on codex. Would love to have you kick the tires.

Then throw in the people using $10k in their token burning "gastown" and bragging on Twitter...

I haven't really hit real usage limits in the past 2 weeks, and part of me wonders if its a loud minority who all abused Claude Code, and now Anthropic has just permanently gimped their accounts.

Something like if you are in the top 5% of users, they are now giving you limits to bring you down to the average user.

People keep repeating this without any real thought behind it because of the high profile resignations on the Qwen team. Meanwhile the Minimax team just released a new open weights version of their 229B model yesterday. So much for that narrative. The AI landscape in China is larger than just Qwen and Alibaba.

> Meanwhile the Minimax team just released a new open weights version of their 229B model yesterday. its under new license prohibiting any commercial use.

The statement was that China was giving up on open weights, they didn't say anything about licensing. Licensing on these models has always been hit or miss depending on which lab and which release.

Anthropic responded: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/46829#issue...

Bizarre reading the thread, it feels like their Claude responding to the other posters’ Claudes

That was my immediate impression too! It feels like it's all AI maximalists who seem to have a need to filter their every interaction through an LLM. And the result looks and reads just like Moltbook.

Anthropic isn't your friend. Phase 1: $200/mo prosumer engineer tool Phase 2: AI layoffs / "it's just AI washing" Phase 3: $20,000/mo limited release model "too dangerous" to use Phase 4: Accelerated layoffs / two person teams. Rehiring of certain personnel at lower costs. Phase 5: "Our new model can decompile and rewrite any commercial software. We just wrote a new kernel after looking at Linux (bye, bye GPL!) We al…

> We need open weights companies now more than ever. If you're objective it to democratize AI, sure. But for those fed up with it and the devastating effects it's having on students, for example, can opt to actively avoid paying for products with AI (I say this as someone who uses it every day, guilty). At some point large companies will see that they're bleeding money for something that most people don't seem to wan…

There's plenty of valuable use cases for being able to give natural language instructions to a tool and have it act on that input. I do however agree that the current hype and valuations far exceed the real value being offered.

Like with the dot com bubble there will be a crash and then whatever shakes out of that will be the companies and products who invested in understanding the actual strengths and weaknesses of the tech, instead of just trying to slap an "AI" sticker on everything.

I can’t believe how many small to mid size companies are being destroyed by bad decisions like this. A friend’s company fired all EMs and have engineers reporting to product managers. They aren’t allowed to do refactors because the CTO believes the AI doesn’t need organized code.

How do people like that ascend to CTO?

Has anybody else noticed a pretty significant shift in sentiment when discussing Claude/Codex with other engineers since even just a few months ago? Specifically because of the secret/hidden nature of these changes. I keep getting the sense that people feel like they have no idea if they are getting the product that they originally paid for, or something much weaker, and this sentiment seems to be constantly spreadin…

Well, off the top of my head: - Banning OpenClaw users (within their rights, of course, but bad optics) - Banning 3rd party harnesses in general (ditto) (claude -p still works on the sub but I get the feeling like if I actually use it, I'll get my Anthropic acct. nuked. Would be great to get some clarity on this. If I invoke it from my Telegram bot, is that an unauthorized 3rd party harness?) - Lowering reasoning eff…

Perhaps Anthropic should put a freeze on new signups until they can increase capacity. This is the best kind of problem for a business, I'm cheering for them.

When you're using the SDK, yes it can. Example: I used the Python SDK to translate a bunch of source code recently. I spawned a subagent for each module that needed translating and left it to run for a few hours with a parallelism limit of 5. It blasted through the 5 hour usage and dug into extra usage credits. I have zero assurances that the above can't result in a ban. The usage pattern is not distinct from OpenCla…

As I said, it doesn't just happen, you explicitly had to set it up so it could happen.

I'm confused about this comment.

The GP has described a task which feels like a task very well within intended usage of CC, but can easily eat up the usage limit.

What should we read between the lines about this scenario?

Is it a bannable offense?
