This is true but I also find the opposite true: the model is highly dependent on the input/prompt, to the point that it can't think beyond it or about it.

Your solution is to fire CEOs, shareholders and only make employee-owned businesses? I mean I'm on board.

Note that it says "start plan" without a price tag. The price tag for the other plan is the one on the page. I don't know what it is because I haven't set up an account to use it, I set up a custom provider in the app.

The app itself is interesting to me. I can see most of the agent trace (I can't see the tool definitions and the tool input args), I can set up skills and make the agent manage them and I can define sub-agents as well.

The UI itself is a bit weird, but I guess it's not thought to be a general purpose file editor.

When running the app, it actually tells you what the base usages are, but the name of the plans are different from the page. It reads:

Start plan: 5 Million tokens a day (GLM-5.2 3M, GLM-5 Turbo 2M)

For individuals: (+150% quota) $18.00USD+ For individual developers with a dedicated Coding Plan quota.

AI mass surveillance is another. The powerful are just ceasing opportunities to accumulate power and capital, seeing that right now it is not good enough for them.

> While obviously requiring real-world ID verification will reduce privacy, is there really any actual privacy left on today's internet?

Privacy is not an on and off switch or an all or nothing. You have to defend the privacy you have and also fight to expand it as a human right.

> Can you think of many examples of a SaaS provider who regularly keeps old versions of a product around for customers to use?

Sure. Blender and Ubuntu offer long-lived old versions of their software that get regular fixes.

What does outcompete economically mean and why would it matter? Or do you mean society A dominates in some form society B? This has already happened in history and is the essence of capitalism. If you want to overcome this situation you need to replace capitalism globally.

Let's not confuse things. One thing is lives lost at a war, another thing is lives lost at a genocide.
