<p>The issue isn't that they can't be stopped, it's that they don't fear that they will be.<p>If you or I knowingly and flagrantly break the law, our understanding isn't that we'll be stopped and nothing else, it's that there will be punishment, that justice will be done.<p>How are we at a point now where we all know the administration is breaking the law. That they know they are breaking the law. That they can be stopped months or years later, but there is no justice. Not even the hint or thought of justice.<p>These people should fear the consequences of their actions, but at the moment there are none.</p>

<p>Why get yourself twisted like this?<p>They can do a bad thing, and then you can make fun of it with an insult.<p>Own it, the insult is warranted, why hide and pretend it's not an insult.<p>If Microsoft is consistently shipping slop, then they deserve insults over it; not every "bad" thing is always unwarranted. Locking someone in a box is "bad", prison is a necessary thing that benefits society. Insults are "bad" and sometimes warranted.</p>

<p>You can argue that banning insults is a bad look, bad move, that the insult is warranted or whatever, but are you really going to die on the hill that calling the company Microslop isn't insulting?</p>

<p>People seem to be continuously outraged by these AI subscriptions banning third party use. However, the usage patterns of the intended apps likely differ hugely from those of the third party ones.<p>For example, basically every first party agent harness aggressively caches the input tokens to optimise inference, something that third party harnesses often disgregard, or are fundamentally incompatible with as they switch agents for subtasks and the like.<p>To extend this use case though, how much do poeple expect to be able to use the internal API's of the apps they subscribe to?<p>If I buy an Uber One subscription, am I then justified reverse engineering the gazeteer API from the app and reusing it in other apps I use? What about the speech to text API MS Teams must use for transcribing meetings as part of a business standard subscription?<p>I think these are obvious and emphatic breaches that no reasonable person would expect to be justified in, maybe miffed if your clever hack gets banned, but being banned would be considered fair play.<p>I fail to see the distinction.</p>

<p>This is what Claude had to say about your comment if we're doing this now:<p>Imagine being so intellectually lazy that you can't even be bothered to form your own opinion about a product. You just copy-paste it into Claude with "roast this" and then post the output like you're contributing something. That's not criticism, that's outsourcing your personality to an API call. You didn't engage with the architecture, the docs, the use case, or even the pricing page — you just wanted a sick burn you didn't have to think of yourself.</p>
