This may be reason enough for me to cancel. I don’t even bother using their Opus model because it exhausts usage so fast.

It’s insane to me how much work I can get done with my ChatGPT plus subscription without ever hitting a limit. I’ve been paying for Claude since the beginning but if they keep tightening limits like this the product will be useless for doing real work.

Same here. I've been buying Airs ever since they came out and they always exceed my expectations. I use them as primary dev machines.

The software is fine. I've been using macs for over 20 years, currently running an M2 with Sequoia 15.7.3 and haven't had any issues. I can't remember the last time I had any OS issue with an Apple machine. Sure, their Music app is terrible, but the OS is just fine.

I would never work anyplace that relegates me to an AI interviewer. Hard pass.

The limits are what did it for me. They kept boasting about Opus performance and improvements, practically begging me to try it out, and when I did, it totally obliterated my usage. I'm sure its good, but I stick to Sonnet because I've been burned bad. Never had that problem with ChatGPT, but it turns out they're just unprincipled and evil, which is a shame.

Good. Proud of her. We need more like her who have principles.

What a cool idea. Love it!

Yeah this is a huge problem for Anthropic and its why I unfortunately haven't been able to kill of my ChatGPT subscription yet.

Me either. I guess it's just fatigue, at least for me. I also don't really get that excited by new LLM releases either. Not to say the tech isn't impressive, but I guess all the hype has me inured.

Sounds pretty beefy. What kind of local LLM is that thing capable of running? Does it open up real alternatives to cloud providers like OpenAI and Claude, or are the local models this hardware is capable of running still pretty far behind?

Let me also register my disinterest in another platform that mimics TikTok.

Brainrot is brainrot regardless of whether it's "federated and open-source" or not. And BTW, 95% of the people on TikTok don't care about either of those two things.

Good write up I guess, but I'm just so tired of all the AI-isms in every damn thing.

"Your European passport is one quiet subpoena away"

Why does the subpoena need to be quiet? If I search my chats with ChatGPT for the word "quiet", I get a ridiculous number of results. "Quietly this, quietly that". It's almost like the new em dash.

There's many others all over this blog post I won't bother calling out.

"Understanding what I actually agreed to took me an entire weekend reading 34 pages of legal documents."

Yeah I'll bet it did. Or it took an hour of back and forth with ChatGPT loaded up with those 34 pages.

I get it, we all use AI, but I'm just so tired of seeing the unmistakable mark of AI language all over every single thing. For some reason it just makes me think "this person is lazy". The CEO of a company my friend works for used Claude to write an important letter to business partners recently and we were all galled at her lack of awareness of how AI-sloppified the thing was. I guess people just don't care anymore.

The part of the story I believe is the part about basically half naked children on Facebook, whether real or AI. I haven't put anything on my profile for the algorithm to tailor content to, since it's used for only marketplace and I've seen some very disturbing content that looked like it slithered off of X. It was as suggestive and inappropriate as you could be about kids, without being full-on porn. And Facebook/Meta seem to have no problem with it. It's a trash heap of a site and everyone involved with it working at Meta should be ashamed.

I sometimes have to login to the Facebook app to use the marketplace, and my experience is the same as what is written in the article.

I see ragebait, clickbait, AI slop, tons of half-naked young looking girls (some AI, some real), and the marketplace is filled with what looks like obvious prostitution (e.g. beautiful girls selling clothes for like $3, but the clothes seemingly NEVER sell and get posted over and over and over again to the point where it's obvious its just a front for escort services).

It's a veritable cess pool. It should be illegal for any child to use IMO, nothing but pure brainrot.

Are you associated with this somehow?

That just sounds like post-hoc rationalization BS to me.

Why would a doctor refuse to prescribe it before 50? Is there a harm to receiving it “early”?

Oh no, this is definitely something. We need to root out the truth and see that all these people are held to account. You shouldn’t be minimizing the importance of this.

You got some shitty comments in here but you handled them well. While I think there is _some_ valid criticism, I think what you've built is pretty cool. I'd like to be able to test this without next JS. Is a CDN option planned for those wanting a quick start?

That’s awesome. What a clever approach!

I enjoyed the read. How did you tap into the legacy Power Basic engine? Was there a FFI or some kind of bridge you could hook into? And what languages were you using?

If this EVER shows up on a paid plan I'm out. Full stop.

Looks nice. I like the way comments are displayed.

I’m not clicking an X/Twitter link. That site is a cesspool. Why couldn’t you have just posted it directly for a Show HN? Linking to a tweet is weird.

Congratulations on shipping a beautiful product

I agree the tone is better on Claude but the limits suck on the Pro plan.

Same experience here. I started our devoutly using Claude but ran into some many limits that I switched back to ChatGPT and it's been night and day. I haven't even really been able to play with the Opus model on my Pro plan because it devours usage and then blocks me for X hours until it resets, costing me a work day. OpenAI has never done that to me. In fact, Codex just churned away for 2 hours on a task and I'm still using it without hitting a limit. I used to love using Claude but the limits are too prohibitive.

Exactly. I barely had a chance to kick the tires the couple of times I did this before it exploded my usage. I don’t just chat with it casually. The questions I asked were apart of an overall planning strategy which was never allowed to get off the ground on my tiny Pro plan.

My experience trying to use Opus 4.5 on the Pro plan has been terrible. It blows up my usage very very fast. I avoid it altogether now. Yes, I know they warn about this, but it's comically fast how quickly it happens.
