with that said, on my 5x plan, I could have multiple sessions working and the limit was far away. Around when you introduced the whole more tokens during off-peak hours and fewer tokens during working US hours, Even with a single session, using no plugins at all (I uninstalled OMC) I run into limits very often.

I have not performed any rigorous tests but it feels like I have about 25% of what I used to have or less. This is all without using teams of agents, or ralph loops or anything like that. Just /plan and execute in a single session. I have restored the /clear context before executing plan to try and mitigate things. I will also try the 400k context since, in my experience, the 1M tokens have not made Opus 4.6 noticeably smarter for my small webapp use-case.

Best of luck to you!

ps: whenever you introduce a change, please make it optional AND ask the user about it at first. Don't just yank things suddenly (like the /clear context and apply plan option.) as I spent hours trying to figure out how I broke it before I saw your note and how to re-enable it.

It is still incredibly impressive of course! I just wish it was jailbroken

Unfortunately, the message will not sink in because it is unpleasant. Almost ll of us want to think we're fair and unbiased.

I keep thinking of emergent complexity. Even starting with very simple rules and components, the amount of complexity that arises as a consequence of ever rising interactions can boggle the mind and seems to validate our current predilection for elegant and succinct laws of physics to be enough to model the universe.

Coincidentally, LLMs being so good at coding that it became the #1 source of income for Anthropic is one such example of emerging complexity from deceptively simple ingredients:

A giant pile of matrix multiplies, next-token prediction, and enough data somehow climbs the ladder from autocomplete to writing code well enough that people will pay $20-200/month per seat for it. It is completely bonkers.

I believe the first time it was because the photos were processed out of state. Apparently it didn't stick!

We have genAI generating videos and the quality sucks compared to human produced and filmed content. People call it out and nobody is going to watch a genAI movie at the theater or binge a genAI TV show. Merit based filtering.

GenAI for music is not as good as human-generated music either. Not a single AI song from Suno or Udio has reached the top40. Not even one. 100% of the songs are human because they are evaluated on merit.

We have SWE and agentic benchmarks to evaluate coding LLMs on merit.

Disclaimer: I am a new account.

But it's a good question. My answer is social contact sharpens our mind. Without it, we would be stupider. And God knows we're stupid enough as it is without degrading our intellectual faculties further.

At a basic level, loners will get hunted down by tribes because they are easy prey and because their behavior can be misconstrued or spun by grifters as nefarious because they are different.

I remember it was even earlier than that, in the 90s when Bill Gates became the richest man in the world.

You're right about 6 month bootcamps leading to jobs in 2021 though! A true gold rush.

It's the fastest way to iterate because Electron is the best cross platform option and because LLMs are likely trained on a lot of HTML/Javascript.

Which is why Claude is great at it.

Or is that the catch? Either way I am sure there will be some niche uses for it.
