@DavidJWil @HedgieMarkets @miggypthinks More like using the most expensive Leatherman to prepare a 5 course meal.

@HedgieMarkets @miggypthinks So isn’t that your answer right there ? Using a general purpose LLM for every task is like hiring a JCB digger to put a sugar cube in your tea. Smaller, specialist models working at the edge will have more appropriate costs for specific corporate purposes.

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products. My Take The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested. This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown. Hedgie🤗

@shari1412550 @choeshow @BvuePD @bellevuewa They’re usually sealed with a little pull tab. If not definitely don’t buy

@choeshow @BvuePD @bellevuewa this is why we NEVER buy anything from the grocery store in packaging...veggies, ask to have new boxes brought from the back coolers...reach high and under for any produce, never from the front...eweeee.....

NEW: Shoppers have been complaining about partially eaten food found on shelves at the Fred Meyer store in Bellevue, WA. Community watch volunteers finally caught one of the alleged culprits in the act Friday evening. This is Third World ghetto behavior. @BvuePD|@bellevuewa

@POKEDEXCRYPTO @choeshow @BvuePD @bellevuewa True. We should let the disabled eat food and put it back at all grocery stores. Under no circumstances should we tell them not to.

@choeshow @BvuePD @bellevuewa Harass a mentally disabled man and his elderly mother, what a man. Only white dudes do this kind of shit if she was white it wouldve been fine

@beaver48755 @PamelaHensley22 A song that is basically a silly 80s party song that is very catchy. Probably a layered jab at Trump or a sign of respect since Trump liked it. Either way it’s not the national anthem being replaced. Go outside

@RyanWMark @PamelaHensley22 What happened to your national anthem on a diplomatic trip allegedly for the country of America? Playing a song by a bunch of gay guys about a lost young boy turning to “gaydome” is appropriate in your opinion?

The Chinese were playing "YMCA" with a marching band. I know President Trump wanted to dance so badly to this. 😂

@SimonYoung76 @garrytan @RepFine I mean it’s not far fetched… share.google/IY3X0MvIWI3rcl…

I am fed up with US politicians calling their opponents the agents of China. This kind of behavior is very much like the totalitarian government who likes to label their political enemies as the agents of foreign power. It’s a dangerous trend. It’s a slippery slope. It legitimizes the political violence and eventually removes the legal due process against the political enemies.

How to say you’re a Chinese agent without saying you’re a Chinese agent.

@beaver48755 @PamelaHensley22 lol ok. yes next baseball game i go to I’ll be sure to let them know.

@PamelaHensley22 A song about a boy who can go to the ymca because gay men will take care of him is now your national anthem What happened to the Stars and Stripes?

@DenovoMike @garrytan They are fundamentally not wise, but they are clever, dedicated and unbound by morality. Pretty amazing what that combination can achieve.

@garrytan Communists aren't dumb. That's what they want. This rhetoric is calculated to bring about exactly that - make people poor and dependent upon the government.

We can’t let the alt left talking point “fuck them, leave” take hold in California like it has in Washington After the billionaires leave, the bureaucrats turn their sights on the savings of the middle class

@ekimzepol @Rainmaker1973 Seems pretty discriminate

@Rainmaker1973 Installing device specifically to maim or kill is classified as aggravated assault/ attempted homicide. Even if rapist triggered the device, victim is criminally & civilly liable for the injury caused. Courts ruled (Katko v Briney) that you can’t use an indiscriminate booby trap.

@T0ASTERWAFFLES @Rainmaker1973 No probably the opposite as most synthetic fragrances are neurotoxins

@Rainmaker1973 So do people who wear perfume/cologne have larger gray matter volume?

A recent study has demonstrated that continuous exposure to rose essential oil through inhalation can lead to measurable increases in gray matter volume in the human brain. In this randomized controlled intervention, 50 healthy women participated: 28 in the experimental group applied rose essential oil to their clothing daily for one month, while 22 in the control group used plain water. Before and after the period, researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess changes in brain structure. The results indicated a significant increase in gray matter volume (GMV) across the whole brain, with a particularly notable effect in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC)—a region involved in memory processing, self-referential thinking, and emotional regulation. No significant changes occurred in areas like the amygdala or orbitofrontal cortex. The olfactory pathway likely explains this effect: aromatic compounds from the rose oil travel directly to the limbic system, providing sustained stimulation that may promote neuroplasticity and help counteract age-related brain atrophy. The authors suggest this could have implications for dementia prevention, as the PCC is among the regions affected early in conditions like Alzheimer's disease. This appears to be the first evidence that prolonged scent inhalation can induce structural changes in the adult human brain. [Kokubun, K., et al. (2024). Continuous inhalation of essential oil increases gray matter volume. Brain Research Bulletin, 208, 110896. DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2024.110896]

@Richard25562399 @TheFigen_ World is still full of goodness. Far more good than evil. evil feels ascendant because it’s such a violent contrast to the norm.

@TheFigen_ Poor child may grow up with magic and hope in it's soul only to have it knocked out of it by the horrors of real life

The priceless moment a baby wakes up to a surprise his family prepared for his first birthday. ❤️

@Mackennen @Trav_A_22 @japan Joke

@RyanWMark @Trav_A_22 @japan Isn’t that just the government? They will just block our redneck asses…

This is the kind of recklessly American propaganda that I live for

@BrianRoemmele @grok Best bang for your buck + full multi-modal is Gemini 3 Flash. $0.50 input/M tok + prompt caching.

Anyone telling you that you need to use Claude to run just about any OpenClaw spending a wacky $1000 or more per month is no expert you should trust. Use @Grok. Great pricing and 4.3 is in another category. You won’t be burning $1000 a month. You will absolutely thank me.

@Kiwiknight108 @AlexBerenson That’s the whole point. The problem isn’t funding. It’s more fundamental. In most school districts if you reduced funding but could fire half of the admin bureaucracy and replace the worst teachers protected by unions you’d see outcomes improve.

@AlexBerenson Is the extra money in schools actually getting to the classrooms though, or is it just stolen by the administrators and the sports programs?

A story of why and how liberal elites lost, in three posts (please note, I have never met this guy and have no idea who he is) 1: Virtue signal by saying something moralistic and dumb that no one in your circle has ever questioned

@TheOfficerTatum Ok sure but wear your seatbelt girl. Step 1 for safety.

Total meltdown: Immigrant Lyft driver explodes on a passenger for conforting her for watching a TV show while driving. She then called the customer a “rich American white b*tch” and complained she only makes $50 after working all day. Lyft is reviewing it now. These are the immigrants we don't need in AMERICA

@Mackennen @Trav_A_22 Just @japan

@Trav_A_22 How do we tag our new Japanese friends that we made last week? They would eat this shit up!!

@marvelousmudd @bcherny imo the stickiest thing anthropic has is the Claude Code CLI. Still use codex but do so begrudgingly, even though it’s been performing better than opus 4.6 lately

@bcherny You saying that you're dogfooding Opus while the entire post is about the apps shows how out of touch you and Anthropic are. Cursor users see this. Your strength as a company is the model you produce, not the software that uses it. The model is the moat. Go all in on it.

Dogfooding Opus 4.7 the last few weeks, I've been feeling incredibly productive. Sharing a few tips to get more out of 4.7 🧵

@marvelousmudd @bcherny It’s the moat until it isn’t. models are becoming more hot swappable. they would like the moat to be software, managed agents, enterprise setups, etc. those are sticky the models have near zero switching costs.

@KoltukGenerali @bcherny pls

@bcherny Wouldn't it be much easier if we can add some cmd+left/right to play with effort levels in the cli? /effort is time consuming

@chriswallace @bcherny For: 1. that are simple 2. token poverty

@bcherny Can you explain why you would want faster responses at the expense of intelligence?

@rebeccabultsma @soychotic I dunno have Max $200 plan and do 20 more of those things overnight. The Ralph loops and similar are the only ones I’ve had that have run long. Results are okay to decent

@soychotic That’s my question!!! WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING? The most complicated thing I can come up with takes like 7 minutes and basically all my rate limit 😭

Obviously as a fan of the concept of lobotomized minions performing work all night for me, I want to get in on this “my Claude agent ran all night!” action Problem is I have no clue what the hell you guys are building for 8 hrs that doesn’t need manual intervention at any point
