It's a pain in the ass to use.

Cache reads cost $0.31

Cache writes cost $105

Input tokens cost $0.04

Output tokens cost $28.75

The total spent in the session is $134.10, while the Pro Max 5x subscription is $100.

Even taking the Anthropics API pricing, we arrive at $80.58. Below the subscription price, but not by much.

It's just the end of the free tokens, nothing to see here. It's easy to feel like you're doing "moderate" or even "light" usage because you use so little input tokens, but those "agentic workflows" are simply not viable financially.

You definitely shouldn't trust me, as we're way beyond the point where you can trust ANYTHING on the internet that has a timestamp later than 2021 or so (and even then, of course people were already lying).

Personally I use Claude models through Bedrock because I work for Amazon, and I haven't noticed any decline. Instead it's always been pretty shit, and what people describe now as the model getting lost of infinite loops of talking to itself happened since the very start for me.

It's pretty clear that OpenAI has consistently used bots on social networks to peddle their products. This could just be the next iteration, mass spreading lies about Anthropic to get people to flock back to their own products.

That would explain why a lot of users in the comments of those posts are claiming that they don't see any changes to limits.

I was all for them until trying one, now I don't understand.

Either those model developers & providers package them in as many services as possible so that they can be somewhat profitable, or they die, and we don't have model developers & providers anymore.

They have 17 million views in 2 months.

The strategy of spamming trash no-effort content definitely pays.

Hmm, the fact that Ollama is open-source, can run in Docker, etc.?

Klarna has nothing in common with Paypal, bare metal hosting is not at all an alternative to AWS, PeerTube has nothing in common with Netflix, etc.

MacOS has been shit for as long as I've used it (8 years) and probably for much longer than that. There are many lists available of MacOS problems (https://old.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/12rw1sn/a_long_list_... for example), it's just that there's not much point making a new article about the Finder that's been shit, and unchanged, for a decade.

All the rest is bullshit made up by LLM labs to make it seem like they hit AGI by dumbing down its definition.

And the UK law doesn't ask for device-level age verification.

I was never an Apple maximalist to begin with, I just have an iPhone and use a Mac at work because I have to (and will continue to), but I just turned off auto-updates on my iPhone and will never buy a new Apple device.

I care a lot less about the stuff that CAN be fixed than about what can't be.

> Poor UI guidelines cause serious problems

> Doesn’t always recognize wired headphones when they’re plugged in the first time. Sometimes even the second time.

> Max volume is rather low for wired headphones, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to increase it.

> No decent Photos app alternative, except Google Photos but apparently with a lot of issues (I'm paraphrasing this one, it's really long)

> Google Wallet does not support NFC payments due to restrictions that Google imposes

> App Store madness

I recognize that some of those are features and not bugs for some users, like the "App Store madness" and the lack of a Photos app alternative, but overall those seem like huge gaps that make it a non-serious alternative.
