One thing that I would like to try is Pi code agent. People seems to like it. GPT allows you to use it on subscription, but Anthropic cut that off on Max subscription. One more incentive to try something new. Also, I feel that I rely on Anthropic too much and none of these guys could be trusted. Next step -> foray into the Chinese models (admittedly not as good). Hopefully, they will get good enough soon.

If you have any substantiative rebuttals, post it.

Because it's "so good" and "so dangerous" that I can't have it.

Judging by the amount of bugs in CC, this model can't be all that good.

But regardless, what is the point of paying to Anthropic if their models are not available to you? I am switching to GPT 5.5.

It was so atrocious, the ELIZA program we built in Stanford NLP class 20+ yrs ago would have been better.

It was “oh shit”, these trillion dollar AI companies are going down 9 months from now and taking the market down with them.

I love buying and reading physical books. However, about half of the books (I read mostly programming books) have letters that are printed pixelated. This is infuriating to me. No one bothers to run a trial print and see what comes out?

The root cause of this: PDF will look fine, but the text color is usually set slightly off black (why!!??). The eye couldn’t really see the difference and PDF renders smoothly. However, commercial printers couldn’t handle that properly.

Solution: set the text color to full black, you are using (most of the time) black and white printer!

You might need to have two PDF versions: one for printing and one for digital distribution (but why would you have off-black text anyway?).

Therefore, these personnel restrictions shouldn't matter, right?

Replace all Oracle Applications in the Enterprise, for example. That will keep Corporate IT/Dev teams busy for quite a while.

Of course, this does not involve Oracle infrastructure, such as Database.
