@helloitschrisg @aakashgupta This is my question. Aren't tokens the same if I consume them through OpenClaw or through Claude?

@aakashgupta > A single OpenClaw agent running for one day burns $1,000 to $5,000 in API-equivalent costs. On a $200 Max subscription. Explain it to me like i'm 5, how? 5 hour rate limits. If i was doing serious work and. I burned through my quotas in the same way?

The $20/month all-you-can-eat buffet just closed. A single OpenClaw agent running for one day burns $1,000 to $5,000 in API-equivalent costs. On a $200 Max subscription. Anthropic was eating that difference on every user who routed through a third-party harness. The timeline tells you how much this was bleeding: January: quietly blocked subscription OAuth tokens from working outside Claude Code. February: rewrote the legal terms. March: shipped Claude Code Channels to replace the core reason people used OpenClaw. April: cut the cord entirely. Four months from passive enforcement to full cutoff. That's the pace of a company watching its margin evaporate in real time. Boris is being diplomatic about "capacity is a resource we manage thoughtfully." The less diplomatic version: third-party tools were spoofing the Claude Code client headers, sending zero telemetry, and generating traffic patterns that made it impossible to debug rate limits or detect abuse. Anthropic couldn't distinguish a legitimate coding session from a swarm of autonomous agents running overnight batch jobs. The one-time credit and discounted usage bundles are the tell. Anthropic knows some percentage of paying subscribers will churn over this. They did the math and decided the token arbitrage was more expensive than the churn. OpenAI's play here is worth watching. They hired OpenClaw's creator in February. Thibault Sottiaux publicly endorsed third-party harness use with Codex subscriptions. OpenAI is using Anthropic's crackdown as a customer acquisition channel. Every AI subscription is a bet on average usage. The tools that let power users blow past that average just got priced out.

@jordan_ross_8F Marketing

Anthropic ran their entire marketing operation with one person. $380 billion company. Paid search. Paid social. SEO. Email. App stores. One non-technical hire doing all of it — for 10 months. I pulled it apart. Compared it to every system we've built across the clients we've worked with. Then asked myself one question: If I had to reverse engineer this from scratch — what would it actually look like? Turns out the architecture isn't that complicated. I mapped the whole thing into a 47-page PDF you can upload directly to any LLM. It coaches you through building your own version step by step. Comment "marketing" and I'll send it over.

@carverfomo You sound meet this guy x.com/i/status/20361…

I work in London. £4,200/month after taxes. £1,800 goes to a room in a flat with 3 strangers. I mass apply to jobs every Sunday hoping for a raise. My 2019 MacBook Air sits in my childhood bedroom in Warsaw. My mom thinks it's broken because the screen stays black. I told her not to throw it away. That broken laptop made £6,100 last month. More than my London salary. While running headless with the lid closed. Setup took one weekend when I visited for Christmas. OpenClaw agent + parents' WiFi + one cron job that runs every 5 minutes. Total cost: £0. One task: copy every position from one wallet within 4 seconds of entry. @kingofcoinflips?via=carverfomo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@kingofcoinfli… kingofcoinflips. 2,867 predictions. $744K profit. Joined August 2025. Only BTC price markets and sports. Enters at 20-50 cents. Exits at $1. My mom called last week: The laptop is making noise. Fan keeps spinning. Should I turn it off? I said: Mom, that laptop pays more than my job. Don't touch it. Put it near the window so it doesn't overheat. She put a doily on it instead and went back to her TV show. In London: shared bathroom with strangers. £4 meal deals. 45 minute Tube each way. £200K student debt for a degree that got me £4,200/month. t.me/KreoPolyBot?st… In Warsaw: MacBook under a doily. No rent. No commute. No lunch breaks. No complaints. Copies one wallet 288 times per day on £15/month internet. My salary after 5 years of university: £4,200. My broken laptop after one weekend of setup: £6,100. Difference: £1,900 in the laptop's favor. My most profitable employee lives with my mother, runs on her electricity, uses her internet, and she doesn't know it makes more than her son. 91K watching this wallet. $60K loaded in active positions. The wallet enters 8-12 times per day. My laptop copies 8-12 times per day.

It's 2036 and 80% of jobs have been replaced by AI and robotics.

I LOVE this. Well said @dcsandbrook!

@PuttshackUK Big shout out to Tish in your Lakeside course... Saved our afternoon and is a great customer service ambassador. Thanks Tish!

@Maynard93608600 @Gypsy_4_ @historyinmemes What I love about this book is the fact that he isn't a writer at all... You are reading what feel like his diary entries as he does something spectacular. He's made it into a narrative but I don't think any professional writer has had a go at polishing it

@Simo_Morris @Gypsy_4_ @historyinmemes Thank’s! Purchased and will be reading next.

This is Karl Bushby. In 1998, he made a bar bet that he could walk from Chile to England—and 27 years later, he’s still on foot. Along the way, he’s survived the Darién Gap, spent 57 days in a Russian prison, and crossed the Bering Strait on drifting ice.

@Maynard93608600 @Gypsy_4_ @historyinmemes amzn.eu/d/goksrlv I knew Karl in the year before he set off... The bet in a bar anecdote isn't accurate I don't believe. He was a quiet, studious guy who engineered himself into the intelligence room in the barracks with hundreds of maps. Great man

@Simo_Morris @Gypsy_4_ @historyinmemes Name of the book please and thanks?

@Gypsy_4_ @historyinmemes There's a great book out already where he diaries the walk from Chile to Alaska.

@historyinmemes Now that’s going to be an interesting book.

@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory @youngsm1th That's a shame, thanks for all the amazing content Theo!

It's a sad day for us at @TheRestHistory, as we bid farewell to our producer Theo @youngsm1th, who's moving on to better things. Theo has been the best captain imaginable - patient, wise, inspirational - and has taken the show to extraordinary heights. I'll miss him enormously.

@haveigotnews This wasn't funny enough to get over the toxic snarkiness

Lando Norris’ World Championship win is a true Formula one underdog story: he came from relative poverty, with his parents struggling to make ends meet on less than a billion pounds

@eurofounder Now will @_DHOTYA have time for a late entry for the Christmas roundup?

Heard the most insane story at the Munich tech conference last week American VC flew in to close a deal with a promising German startup €50 million Series B, all ready to sign VC took a red eye flight from California and arrived at their offices at 12:30pm on a Friday Office was completely empty Called one of the founders - "Where is everyone? Did I mess up my dates?" "It's Friday?" "???" "Nobody works past 12pm on Fridays, it's almost weekend" "Can we at least review the term sheet?" "Not without Klaus from legal, but he's on paternity leave until 2026" "Oh come on, let's run through details over lunch" That was enough of this yankee disrespect The founder reported him to the German compliance office for disrupting a mandatory 45-minute lunch break The VC was escorted out by security The company received a €300k EU grant instead, smart money This is why we don't need American money poisoning European sustainable innovation culture

It's the anniversary of the greatest diary entry in history. Michael Palin, November 13th 1977.

@BookiesFoe Spoiler. We did not get back into it.

Big test for NUNO now....will he stick or twist. For me SCARLES,TODIBO and IRVING need to come off now! We can get back into this. #Hammers #WHUFC #COYI

@hskandts @anne_hegerty Was hardly likely to be a Chase quiz question was it?

@anne_hegerty You'd never heard of him before Wednesday? Finger on the pulse eh Anne?

1/2 Let's try this, shall we? 'I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before Wed night. SO NATURALLY I THEN WENT AND READ ABOUT HIM, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT ME TO DO. Had we met, my end of the conversation would have been ‘You just said WHAT?’ and ...

@Nick_Offerman Love this

Hello to the United Kingdom! I aim to tickle you severally this late October with a 5-city tour, called FULMINATIONS with Nick Offerman. The evening will feature songs, mirth, lessons in comportment, Cumberland sausage-talk and other euphemisms. We will also be featuring my new book LITTLE WOODCHUCKS, a thinly veiled screed urging us all to make things out of wood with our kids and our communities, with vigorous personal eye contact, lest we allow the billionaires to curate our every footstool. This show is heavy on affection. Tickets available at: myticket.co.uk/artists/nick-o…

@youngsm1th @dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory And will you publish the WhatsApp video of Tom looking wistfully as two men wrestle in the background outside the tattoo shop?

@dcsandbrook @Simo_Morris @TheRestHistory

On the eve of @TheRestHistory's landmark Chatham High Street episode, @youngsm1th reminds me of a terrifying exchange two years ago, in the skies above New Zealand.

@dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory @youngsm1th This. Is. Incredible. I might go to Chatham to listen to it!

@Simo_Morris @TheRestHistory @youngsm1th TOMORROW.
