They literally say this is why.

The most ethical goal of an AI lab or government should be to bring the maximum amount of intelligence for as cheap as possible to the people equally.

- In the earliest days (literally go read their blog posts and GitHub repos), they only ever really did dinky little demo's.

- After and for the longest time, they tried to claim they went "Full Stack" with SSR-able abilities, but they were so terrible back then and not even well integrated into their Worker platform tools.

- This was oddly gray mixed (sometimes?) with Pages messaging which definitely was not full-stack in the sense developers wanted.

- Then getting any of this to work in a dev environment was super difficult as "wrangler dev" was very limited (wrangler is so good now FYI).

- Vercel just kind of ate Cloudflare's lunch here. No shame in it. They just couldn't get it right for developers period.

- Then very quietly "Adapters" came around and basically changed the game. Your code base finally felt portable to Workers with essentially full CF platform support.

- Now we live in AI-age and they bought Astro (?), tried to launch WP clone (?), and vibe-coded Next (?)

Big and long time coming for all of this. It is a super breath of fresh air to see even more improvements will likely come to Workers. Icing on cake is Evan is a legend who has a proven track record of delivering tools people love.

Although mental safety gymnastics aside, getting the most amount of intelligence for the cheapest amount of cost to normal people seems like the most ethical thing a big lab could do.

Going around and granting different tiers of intelligence to different insiders, friends, or companies is majorly problematic long-term.

Heck right now, the tokens you buy today for “Opus 4.8”, no one even knows or believes will be the same “Opus 4.8” just 3 days from now.

I called it out.

It then gave me one of the most super heartfelt honest and sincere apologies I have ever received.

Glad the safety team was there for me and able to make such an honest model or I would have been very upset about it.

Hope this isn’t the case and that normal average Joe’s of the world don’t get policed out of access.

It's really hard not to especially if you enjoy building.

It seems with the new "--bare" flag they are introducing, a huge rug pull is coming as they plan to deprecate -p for unlimited users.

The docs now read:

> "Bare mode skips OAuth and keychain reads. Anthropic authentication must come from ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or an apiKeyHelper in the JSON passed to --settings. Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry use their usual provider credentials. --bare is the recommended mode for scripted and SDK calls, and will become the default for -p in a future release."

Hope I am reading this wrong or this is clarified.

I am finding my writing prompt style is naturally getting lazier, shorter, and more caveman just like this too. If I was honest, it has made writing emails harder.

While messing around, I did a concept of this with HTML to preserve tokens, worked surprisingly well but was only an experiment. Something like:

>

Hello

AI compressed to:

> h1 c bgrd5 tg3 sp hello sp h1

Or something like that.

Tmux is seriously an amazing tool.

People simply want Opus without fear of billing nightmare.

That’s like 99% of it.

Plus it gives a little ASCII dog to Claude Code terminal.

The ability to spawn independent CLI is awesome. No brainer they would add eventually between the great threaded functionality it brings and is essentially a more controlled version of OpenClaw IMO
