So is it for latency or is it for cost?

Why did you lie 11 days ago, 3 days after the fix went in, about the cause of excess token usage?

Yes?

I mean it's very provable that they sell access to your data and your eyeballs other companies.

Just another drop in the now overflowing bucket of evidence that you can't trust any of these immoral fuck wits.

The Amodeis' have just proven that the threat of even slight hardship will make them throw any and all principles away.

Yeah, I know it's just funny to see the coordinated effort across multiple sites.

> Let’s start with the root cause, which is that AI does actually make you more 10x productive, once you learn how.

> But hey, don’t take it from me. Take it from… the Copilot people. According to The Verge and a bunch of other reputable news sources, Microsoft is openly encouraging their employees to use multiple tools, and as a result, Claude Code has rapidly become dominant across engineering at Microsoft.

And what wonders they've achieved with it! Truly innovative enhancements to notepad being witnessed right now! The inability to shut down your computer! I can finally glimpse the 10x productivity I've been missing out on!

What a weird reason to switch. I don't know why you'd believe any other piece of software is somehow more secure against state actors.

Crying free speech and attempting to rile up the tech bros is just what companies do these days.

It doesn't matter if, like this issue, it has absolutely nothing to do with free speech; if you position yourself as a defender of the "open internet", "open source", "free thinking" or "innovation" you get every dingleberry that hangs off Musk to come and defend you.

Yes, but Microsoft/Github do not make any determination about the validity of the claim.

Once a valid (from a process perspective) claim is submitted, the provider is required to take the claimed content down for 10 days. From there the counter claim and court processes can go back and forth.

Microsoft/Github have no say in enforcement of a DMCA claim.

Waking up to the fact that the largest corporations in the world are stealing off everyday people to sell a subscription to their theft driven service?

The absolute delusion.
