To the point that I wonder if Pence actually saved us all when not doing what he was supposed to - but the people Trump put in place meant he didn't get blocked for running again.

For one thing, she is much more likely to be 'ruling' in 10+ years being both female and only 68, and people are only sent to old peoples home when they can't look after themselves. Trump definitely meets that mark, Putin we obviously do not know. Pension for von der Leyen, maybe, but with age comes wisdom with her role, and stability.

I think they probably damaged themselves by going for a land grab of user base through freebies. It meant the users weren’t ever going to convert to paid customers, so it was more to show investors that they had a user base. But, with an increased base of users who weren’t paying, it then meant they needed to find either new revenue streams or cheaper ways to provide the service. Unfortunately, it seems they went with the new revenue streams whilst also decreasing the functions paying members were able to access (something I find quite abhorrent- I paid a service level, but then they change what I receive mid-subscription). And then computer - rammed down my throat. One reason I pay for pro is to stop the nagging noise of paid tiers. And instead, they actually created a way of logging in and continually seeing gated functions.

So, after paying them upwards of $400-$500 and being a loyal customer, I walked.

How many bomb alerts in only Democrat strong areas, for example?

I then miss a few days and get overwhelmed with the backlog.

I am cancelling my Claude max 5x subscription and moving to ChatGPT pro. I have difficulty enough trying to ensure my meaning comes through correctly, along with everything else; to now have to look out for/analyse watermarks too?

I feel shamed enough by society, thanks Anthropic.

That’s a hell of a difference to ‘you’ll be at the back of the queue’ - which was a stated fact.

And no, the real difference now is that the USA oligarchs are activity trying to get far right parties in power.

Fable level performance, for much lower price.

But really, this is the USA getting ready to bring AI companies completely under the control of the Trump administration for ‘national security’

Quite often, people in power don’t want to hear the truth, they want to hear their own words/views parroted back to them.
