But Twitter/X desperately wants me to download their app to then make me scan my palm. I'm still locked out for some reason and I'm not a bot. It has been a week and no response from their support.

I've been with hit their algorithm making me prove I'm not a bot (again). My account wasn't new or bot-like in behavior I think? I usually follow AI news and tweet silly memes. So much for "free speech platform" if most of the people just get whisked away having to prove their not bots by scanning their palms apparently or uploading selfies so you know exactly who is criticizing you. I just use the web version because IT'S a WEBSITE. I don't want to use the app. I know it's due to real issues because there are bots and AI made the situation worse and it'll probably get worse for other sites in general and I see it on HN too. I did contact support so maybe my account will get unblocked (again) and I'll just happily tweet ever after, but for the meantime well I can't so maybe this also will spark discussion.

I'm starting to explore alternative options because Claude has become an awful value proposition. Any suggestions?

This is why I'm hesitant to buy Google AI again. I don't want to risk some npm install compromising my Google account which also happens to do AI coding.

I think this is a move to get people off the subscription and move to API. The weekly usage is still awful altough it seems they're trying to fix it but I'm not hopeful.

I wonder if these benchmarks swap words, meaning and more because you might as well be benchmaxxing for specific words. I notice a lot of recurring just structural sentences coming back in smaller LLM models where they're fit for a specific task which is fine because most of the work we do is repetitive and there are patterns to learn but they should be word agnostic which I wonder if LLM can really fix.
