“Max” leads me to believe I have the maximum level of access

Maybe that’s just a naming problem then. But even if they called it “Ultra Max Super Pro,” I still wouldn’t assume it means access to every future capability, every internal tool, or every restricted model they ever build.

To me, “Max” means the highest tier of the product they’re currently offering to that customer segment, not an unlimited claim on everything the company possesses.

Again, for me this has just been a very strange argument I keep seeing around these plans. It’s obvious the plans are subsidized and I am happy to take advantage of that in the near term but I would be a fool to think my $200/month account buys any special access.

But it did give us access to frontier models through the history of the plan, and up until what a week ago now

you'll need the Max Plus plan for that, buddy

And the prostitute really does love you and Your Call really Is Important To Us.

That's a little snarkier than strictly appropriate in this forum but you cannot seriously and in good faith say that this is the first time you've seen advertisements 'exagerrate' the truth.

Nobody said anything about it being the first time seeing it. You still get to be upset when lied to.

Except you knew it was a lie, and they knew that you knew it was a lie, and you knew that they knew that you knew it was a lie. There was exactly zero deception. At a certain point it's marketing, advertising, copywriting, not a Lie in the sense that anyone was made to believe something untrue.

So it' okay to lie as long as the other party is aware you're lying?
