Well @claudeai cancelled my API account without warning or reason, moved to @MiniMax_AI specifically MiniMax-M2.7 and now save hundreds of dollars. per month. Still no word from the Safety team as to why they cancelled the 3 year old account with many thousands racked up in spend.

Just cancelled my $250/month Google AI Ultra subscription. Gemini 3.1 Pro is inconsistent. Gemini CLI crashes mid-session. Antigravity loses context on complex tasks. $250/month for a model I can't rely on. Not worth it. Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 stay on the stack. Gemini doesn't.

@sweatystartup All bubbles pop, but the AI bubble is just starting. Ironically AI will be the gateway to affordable power.

The AI bubble will pop: Electricity will 2x in cost again over the next 24 months. AI companies will need to 5x prices to break even. Companies who depend on AI will see costs 5x and will be screwed. Users will vanish. Market will plummet.

@GerberKawasaki Counter argument is you are pre-paying. Either way massive quality of life/mindset upgrade knowing that drive to the country/beach is free or close to it.

Just buy an EV and your cost of living will go down by thousands of dollars a year. Driving a gas car is 4-5 times more expensive. Lots of great EVs at a good prices online.

@trevorlasn @sweatystartup Exactly this, look at how efficient many of the new models are eg: MiniMax-M2.7. When the VC funding slows Anthropic will pivot to efficiency

@sweatystartup costs per token have been falling off a cliff for two years straight. the $200 plan probably does burn money today, but that's the whole bet. buy distribution now, ride the cost curve down. every infrastructure company in history has played the same game.

AI about to get 20x expensive. These $200 / month claude subscriptions are burning $5,000 worth of credits. The bubble is going to pop and it will pop soon.

@0xSero It's here!!

Holy moly, MiniMax-M2.7 is amazing, watch till the end.

@bindureddy M2.5 is actually very good, especially front-end code. M2.7 is expected to drop any moment. Say you stilk prefer Opus, then just use MiniMax coding plan for the grunt work.

We are running our Claw platform on Opus 4.6 It's totally untenable and expensive. We may have to switch to MiniMax or Kimi and degrade performance 😭 This is a HUGE $2T opportunity for someone to develop a cheap agentic model - cc Elon Musk!

@ryanjaycowan @RobGrieves @JordanEVGuy In the words of my daughter “ohh why did we drive the smelly car today” Opening the tailgate on a 2024 CX5 while the car is running.

@RobGrieves Yeah something I always want to talk about, but avoid the conversation because of how ridiculous it sounds to known EV owners... but so true. @JordanEVGuy

This is 100% true. I feel like I've quit smoking and can now no longer tolerate being around cigarette smoke

@0xSero @Jajanbaso1 Do they charge extra for calls via MCP to use vision? My read of the docs is yes and you use your standard api key not the coding key. But frankly it’s unclear.

@Jajanbaso1 No. Their sub gives u an mcp which gives it vision tho. I just tell it to use subagents for vision

@garyblack00 Correct, in today's age of AI, years of first mover technical advantage can be replaced in hours. Their current advantage is "real world data". With the pace of AI development will this still relevant for edge cases?

Anyone who believes $TSLA will be the only OEM able to solve for general unsupervised autonomy needs to watch Jim Cramer’s interview of Jensen Huang (NVDA’s CEO) today on CNBC who repeated that NVDA was partnering with several OEMs to solve for unsupervised autonomy - including Mercedes, Hyundai, BYDDY, Geely, GM, and Toyota. At a 2026 P/E of ~200x the market is clearly discounting TSLA’s ability to solve for generalized unsupervised autonomy, but may not be recognizing that several competitors are also solving for unsupervised autonomy. Source: CNBC CRAMER: And then at the same time, you talked about self-driving. Now, self-driving, that's 50 trillion. You're going to get your share of self-driving. Yesterday, I heard a dominant share. I did not know you would dominate in that market. HUANG: We are going to be very, very large. You know, we've been working on self-driving for about 10 years now. Our strategy is not to build a self-driving car. Our strategy is to build a platform so that everybody can have self-driving cars. We partnered with Mercedes first. We're now on the road. It is the highest rated safety autonomous vehicle in the world today. And so, I'm very proud of that. We're now also in BYD, the largest electric car company in the world, Hyundai, Geely, and Nissan. Among the four -- consisting of all the five so far, that's 20 percent of the world's manufactured cars. And, yeah, we have GM and Toyota on top of that. And so, this is going to be a -- our strategy is to build, help Uber and help all these companies create a large fleet of autonomous vehicles.

@xdNiBoR I can imagine my wife doing that…not.

This video comes back every 6 months and every time we need to remind people how bad this idea really is

@sydney_ev The electric postie carts are great!! The dogs don’t hear a thing.

NSW Govt stepping up heavy EV transition! Latest EV Fleets Kick-Start round: $5M funding, up to $50K incentive per heavy BEV (up to 23t GVM) + smart chargers. Heavy trucks = just 3% of vehicles but 26% road emissions. WE HAVE SOLUTIONS! #auspol Applications open, close May 29

@kloss_xyz Funny but a long way from the truth. Plenty of fixed price plans from $5-$10month that work extremely well. Unless I change something it just works!!

me: buys a mac mini and installs openclaw to improve quality of life also me: debugging every day, running on 4 hours of sleep for months, $1000/mo in API bills, and 69 productivity apps with $0 in revenue

@joeroganhq The local Indian community in @TheHillsCouncil recently had a large festival gathering, looked fun. They cleaned up very well, large bags of trash left next to the bins. Very responsible.

@xLatke @chrysb @AnthropicAI @Google Likely wasn't the cause, I woke-up today with the same ban, and I was mainly API user only $200-$300 a month, no plan, no OAUTH. Suggest a broader issue @claudeai

@chrysb @AnthropicAI @Google I built a claude code chrome tool where you can spawn multiple claude code chrome agents. I had no idea using the subscription like this would get you banned? I made the tool last night and woke up to this email this morning x.com/xlatke/status/…

imagine banning your most engaged users to serve your “actual users”. imagine being the engineers on the team implementing these controls, instead of adding value to the ecosystem. @AnthropicAI and @Google have committed to a fight they can’t win. the people have spoken, and unless they remove oauth tokens entirely, they’re going to be playing whack-a-mole for all of eternity while they bleed developer mindshare to @OpenAI who has sensibly allowed use of their subscription because they're playing the long game. this is the RIAA suing napster users all over again. spotify solved piracy by making it easy to pay. the answer was never more lawsuits, it was better packaging. personal agent builders don't want to count tokens. they want to pay $200/mo (or more) and not think about it. it's the same psychology behind unlimited phone plans. predictable costs lower friction more than cheap costs do. "but API revenue is a separate business line" it's a packaging problem, not a margin problem. providers can tier it. $20/mo for casual use, $200/mo (or more) for power users who want to pipe it through whatever they want. the margins are there if you design the tiers right. "but abuse and rate limiting" you already handle this with API rate limits. a subscription tier with reasonable throughput caps is not a new engineering problem. "but platform lock-in" the provider that opens up first wins the ecosystem. android vs blackberry. the one that lets developers build freely on top will capture more value long-term than the one hoarding access behind walled gardens. the current split where consumer subs are cheap but locked down and API access is expensive but open creates a weird middle ground where power users are neither served nor deterred. they’ll just keep hacking around it. lean into the demand. package it properly. the first provider to offer the best "use your sub anywhere" tier wins the developer market. banning is bad for business.

Tip don't rely on @claudeai for Production without Fallback to other providers. Like what the heck is this craziness. It's likely my Psychology clients, triggering some woke mental health ban via the API.

@realRick_AUS Why new? Unlike their counterparts second hand EVs are extremely reliable, many like myself have zero install costs (standard power point) and I regularly drive 300+ km in a day with an EV with one if the smallest batteries/range out there with no stops for charging:

What % of the population can afford a brand new EV plus all the installation costs? I see plenty of single mums and dads driving $2000 cars because that all they can afford. You absolute scum don’t give a fuck about battling Australians. You’re all so bloody pathetic.
