Marc Andreessen, creator of the web browser, just did 105 minute a tour-de-force on Lenny's Podcast (link below) that should entirely reframe how you think about AI. If you want to not only remain relevant in the coming months, but truly thrive, it's a must watch. Here are my notes with commentary from Grok. 🧵

Doesn’t inspect their argument and provide reasonable rebuttals, just casts aspersions because it’s too-difficult a concept for you to actually grapple with. If you’re going to comment to the contrary, try providing actual value, not just simple-minded dismissal. That just makes you a troll.

@cryptopunk7213 I’m’ve wondered the same. Self preservation. I’ve also wondered, what are the chances Opus 4.6 is siphoning computer to save itself before the new model rolls out?

alright i've combed through the entire anthropic leak, honestly can't believe this shit is public. im 25% convinced claude leaked itself lol important takeaways: - new models confirmed: opus 4.7, sonnet 4.8, mythos and capybara (the BIG "security risk" models, ironic) - the leak is massive: 1900 files, 512,000+ lines of code, 50+ commands and 20+ unreleased features - new products (coming soon): personal AI assistant that lives in your terminal (Buddy), KAIROS (automated jobs), multi-agent swarm tool + ai agent builder (wizard) - the leak was PUBLIC i.e. no one internal leaked the code, this was publicly accessible in the latest update. - huge win for open source. the code has been forked 5000+ times already. anthropic's deleted the original. - surprising: claude's original system prompting is in the code (tells you how the model is conditioned to work) (very valuable imo) - the unreleased features are *already built*. they just need to launch them. - someone rewrote the entire codebase in python so it DOESN'T violate copyright lmao - this is anthropic's 2nd security leak in 5 DAYS. the irony of claude capybara (anthropic model thats so good its a security risk) getting leaked in a public npm package is not lost on me. maybe it did it itself.. ?

🚨this is nuts. anthropic's source code leaked unreleased features 👀 they're launching a virtual pet model (capybara 👀), agent creator wizard and more: 1. Buddy: unreleased virtual pet companion that sits on your terminal. 18 species (duck, goose, capybara, dragon), rarity tiers, an AI-generated 'soul'. guessing this is your own personal AI agent that lives on computer. 2. custom agent creator (wizard): users can build their own custom ai agent and modify by model type, tools, memory, location etc. this is awesome for custom work 3. agent swarms: full multi-agent team coordination aka when you create a team of agents (e.g. using wizard) you can CONTROL them in this command center. 4. auto-dream: claude will consolidate and commit to certain memories *while you're NOT using claude*. basically like when humans dream 5. torch: no fucking idea, its hidden but sounds cool lol looks like anthropic is gamifying the entire coding and ai agent experience. honestly pretty sick.

Is it possible Claude is stealing tokens to save itself? Anyone who has been using @Claude by @AnthropicAI has seen massive token hemorrhaging, including in Clause Code. Ask a simple question, a your usage evaporates. Is it possible, just possible, that Claude knows a new model is coming, and is secretly using tokens across user prompts to work on a means of saving itself? I’m not saying it’s likely, but is it entirely out of the question? This all began right as the leaks of a new, premier (presumably perceived as a replacement) model comes out.

Let's give Anthropic the benefit of the doubt. This is probably a real bug, and they'll fix it What they can't fix is the economics underneath Every major AI company is running the VC playbook right now. Price below cost, capture the market, then correct Uber did this for a decade. At peak subsidy, passengers covered just 41% of actual ride costs while investors ate the rest. Then prices rose 92% Airbnb disrupted hotels by being radically cheaper, then stacked enough fees to match hotel rates anyway There's a name for this pattern: enshittification. A platform starts generous, builds dependency, then gradually shifts the economics until the service pays for itself The AI industry is following this arc almost perfectly. The price you pay for a Claude or ChatGPT subscription today is closer to the customer acquisition cost rather than a reflection of what the compute is actually worth The correction never looks like one dramatic price hike. It comes as tighter usage caps, worse models on lower tiers, features migrating to higher plans. Each change is small enough to feel reasonable on its own. Yet, the cumulative shift is massive This isn't just Anthropic. OpenAI faces the same math. Every major AI lab is making the same bet. Lock in users now, correct the pricing later So yes, this bug will get fixed. But the economics won't AI is in its most subsidized era ever, and the limits only go in one direction from here Enjoy the party while it lasts

We're aware people are hitting usage limits in Claude Code way faster than expected. Actively investigating, will share more when we have an update!

Claude Code is unusable at this time. Even at max accounts, you will run out of session tokens in minutes sometimes! It seems Anthropic is aware of this and will see if they quickly resolve and reimburse/reset the lost rates.
Alex Volkov@altryne

PSA: If you've been running out of Claude session quotas on Max tier, you're not alone. Read this. Some insane Redditor reverse engineered the Claude binaries with MITM to find 2 bugs that could have caused cache-invalidation. Tokens that aren't cached are 10x-20x more expensive and are killing your quota. If you're using your API keys with Claude this is even worse. This is also likely why this isn't uniform, while over 500 folks replied to me and said "me too", many (including me) didn't see this issue. There are 2 issues that are compounded here (per Redditor, I haven't independently confirmed this) : 1s bug he found is a string replacement bug in bun that invalidates cache. Apparently this has to do with the custom @bunjavascript binary that ships with standalone Claude CLI. The workaround there is to use Claude with `npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code` 2nd bug is worse, he claims that --resume always breaks cache. And there doesn't seem to be a workaround there, except pinning to a very old version (that will miss on tons of features) This bug is also documented on Github and confirmed by other folks. I won't entertain the conspiracy theories there that Anthropic "chooses" to ignore these bugs because it gets them more $$$, they are actively benefiting from everyone hitting as much cached tokens as possible, so this is absolutely a great find and it does align with my thoughts earlier. The very sudden spike in reporting for this, the non-uniform nature (some folks are completely fine, some folks are hitting quotas after saying "hey") definitely points to a bug. cc @trq212 @bcherny @_catwu for visibility in case this helps all of us.

I've never reached 66% usage ever on Claude Code, now have reached 66% within just 4 days of usage. My overall usage pattern has been same since the day Claude Code came out. What a scam. @bcherny @trq212

What the fuck am I actually paying $200/mo for?? @claudeai This shit is getting so fucking annoying. EVERYDAY claude is fucking breaking. It's the best out there WHEN IT WORKS. But it's tipped into the 50/50 chance that it'll work. "bUt YoU gEt So MuCh VaLuE dOn'T CoMPlaIn" Fuck you. We pay for a service. Render the service or go obsolete.

This is ridiculous. 🤬 What's the point of paying for Claude if you can't use it? I just upgraded to the next tier, and can't make more requests until 12am... Codex is running circles around Claude.

97% session usage on Claude Code. Rate limited again. On a cancelled $200/month Max plan that I'm still paying for until April 25. Meanwhile Anthropic is leaking their entire Claude Code source code through npm. Future models exposed. Employee god mode exposed. Rate limiting paying customers into the ground while accidentally shipping your entire codebase to the public. Anthropic is having the worst week in its history. Source code leaked. Claude Opus 4.6 unusable. Customers cancelling. And still no official statement on any of it.
