I didn’t comment on this when I saw it on threads/twitter. But it made it to HN, surprisingly.

I have a feeling these same people will complain “my model is so dumb!”. There’s a reason why Claude had that “you’re absolutely right!” for a while. Or codex’s “you’re right to push on this”.

We’re basically just gaslighting GPUs. That wall of text is kinda needed right now.

I believe the capacity about 30%. They did just spend the entire last month of feature releases in Clade Code replacing "claw" features.

So, to me its a "we built it into our world use ours"

Edit: FWIW I am an avid hater of all claw things, they're security nightmare.

Hm, you might want to catch up on the Wordpress “open source” drama with WP.com vs .org, WP engine and Matt.

This, to me, reads like the CEOs that are catching up to months ago.

I was subbed to claude for CC since July/aug (can’t remember when I stopped paying the API pricing).

I canceled 3 weeks ago. Since then everything with the usage limits being slashed before being announced, their cache bug that eats limits (and won’t reset), and just rolling paper cuts with every single release I feel pretty good.

I personally think Anthropic is lost and are chucking products out left and right. They might vibe their moment away

Edit: their last month of releases for CC are heavily favored towards building openclaw into their ecosystem

Is there any kind of “hook up” on wholesale large dumb displays?

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but I just want a giant dumb display from my Apple TV. I vaguely remember someone posting a link to tvs restaurants use but I don’t remember exactly what or if it was what I’m looking for.

(Sorry, being lazy here)

We’re in a personal software era. Or disposable software era however you want to look at it. I think most people are building for themselves and no longer needing to lean on community to get a lot of things done now.

Self plug, but basically that’s the TL;DR https://robertdelu.ca/2026/02/02/personal-software-era/

It is annoying. But I bet they’re effectively being DDoS’d every day by AI agents now. I think the past year of that growth has destroyed any of their spare resources. It’s not really a scale problem I’d like to work on, tbh. Seems very hard.

Plus, the azure migration.

You’re right it completely doesn’t matter they’ve been instrumental to ICE and the war in Iran. It’s fine now, their previous actions are excused.

Edit: the word you’re also looking for is “working” not “worked”. I have many friends on government contracts still using Claude.

Did you read the article? Or are you just replying?

Anthropic has literally been working with the DoD and Plantair for 2 years now. They were key to the Iran invasion.

If thats “looking better”, keep it.

You’re right, Anthropic is quite a bit worse https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/03/04/anthrop...

Has it occurred to anyone that Anthropic highest in the industry API pricing is a play to drive you into their subscription? For the lock-in?

I love this argument because people grab Anthropic’s API pricing, stop there, and present it at face value.

Only Anthropic knows their inference costs. And do we _really_ think they’re losing money? Hahaha

Does it really need a VPS? Can’t throw it onto a cloudflare page for free?

Local LLMs and compiling rust are the only two things that I have seen saturate my M4 Max, hahaha.

Oh that made it seem like I was the driving factor. Maybe for the first one (Percy.io) I can claim a large part of that success (owning the SDKs and support end to end).

The other I just owned the front end infra and was on the growth team. The rest of the folks were the stars on that one.

Edit: I guess I brought that up because I guess I don't know any more "real work" that that, ha. What is 'real work'?

It legit got me. An actual "whaaaaaatttt?" out loud and then I had to figure out why it was the top of HN haha.

Heh, I also upgraded to run local LLMs. As a tiny aside, codex does not burn resources like CC does.

Ah sorry minutes, they bill the most for macOS probably because of what a pain it is to scale it with apples EULA (I'm guessing) https://docs.github.com/en/billing/reference/actions-runner-...
