@AlexFinn Is six months 4.6 opus will be old news and cheap as chips, and it’s literally all you’d ever need to go out and create any iOS app or SaaS you want. Ditto +1yr for open source

In a few weeks the most powerful AI model of all time Claude Mythos will release This makes me deeply nervous Not because of cybersecurity risks or anything like that But because it will quite obviously be significantly more expensive which will cause the wealth gap to explode Let me explain First the obvious: tokens aren’t getting cheaper. In fact, they’re getting significantly more expensive Almost every new version of ChatGPT and Claude brings a slight bump in price over the last one And plans haven’t been going down either, they’re only coming out with more expensive ones. ChatGPT Pro plan for $250 a month. Claude Max for $200. GPUs, RAM, CPUs all going up in price. And now Mythos, which the leaked blog post hinted won’t even be included in a plan. It will only be in the API for what will be an astronomical cost. And do you seriously doubt this won’t lead to an upcoming $2,000 a month Ultra plan that every other AI company will immediately copy? It’s one thing to make luxury items more expensive. It’s another thing to make intelligence more expensive. Intelligence that is critical to getting ahead in a crumbling economy. Let’s just call it what it is: using AI gives you an advantage against everyone else. Those with AI are keeping their jobs. Those not using AI are losing their jobs Now a new level of intelligence that will only be accessible to the rich is coming out. Only the rich will be able to use this super intelligence to create more economic value than others. What happens to the people that can’t afford Mythos? Or ChatGPT 6? They are left with a major disadvantage in the economic battlefield. Then on top of that, both OpenAI and Anthropic are going to IPO this year (it’s killing the middle class that this didn’t happen years ago, but that’s another story) They both are heavily incentivized right now to explode revenue as much as they can. They both are incentivized to make these new models as expensive as humanly possible. The middle class is already gutted. A middle class without access to the intelligence that the upper class will have will only gut them further. If a job position is between someone in the middle class with Claude Sonnet, and someone in the upper class with Claude Mythos, the Claude Mythos candidate with 100% get the job. It’s like a ballet dancer getting in a weight lifting competition with someone on insane amounts of steroids. Or say someone with Claude Opus has a genius idea for a business, and someone with Claude Mythos gets the same one. The one with Claude Mythos will release a significantly better product much much faster, crushing the person with Opus. I’m very pro-capitalist. In fact, I might be a radical capitalist. But at the same time this country (and this world) needs a middle class. I don’t know the answers or solution. There probably isn’t one. I honestly don’t even know what I’m trying to achieve with this post. I just have gotten incredibly scared over the last few days thinking about this scenario. I think the best plan of action at the moment is to just create as much economic value as you possibly can right now. (Ethically) earn as much money as possible. Save everything. If you want to compete in the future, you’re going to need to be able to afford the top tier intelligence. It’s critical for you and your family to survive. But in the meantime, don’t let anyone tell you intelligence is going to become “too cheap to meter”.

@andrewxroas You probably pissed someone off at meta 😂

My CPA nearly doubled All metrics remain almost the same - CPM, CPC Except now the landing page CR is almost 50% down Is this just meta sending shittier traffic or can it actually be creative fatigue?

@seraleev And Sunno is fucking trash just waiting to get eaten alive

AI Music is a wide open niche A friend of mine launched an AI music generator in January: - local market (non-English) - SEO + search ads $10k profit in the first month 🤯 The market was basically empty. Almost no one is looking at this space. But it’s already making money. P.S. Built in 3 days with Lovable. Pure vibe coding. This is web. Not a mobile app.

@lucasmoscon__ @athcanft me over here with $10 a day -_-

@athcanft this app started with $150 per day

this is the exact playbook of how a mobile app went from $0 ARR to $60k ARR in just 40 days ps: no scam, or course to sell you

@DeFiMinty I don’t think it will come to an end. The reality is if they don’t make a compelling competitive offer we will move elsewhere. Claude is ok, but Im just as happy talking to Gemini. And I can use more finely tuned efficient models for developing, I don’t need opus.

Subsidized inference is slowly coming to an end. Every week I can see Opus 4.6 making more errors with each passing day. At first, it wasn’t a big deal but at this point, it’s might be worse than Opus 4.5 on release. Think there will only be more limits and cost cutting as companies try to make the math work out. It was nice while it lasted.

@trq212 It sounds like you've got some serious bugs during the onpeak times. You clearly need to roll back changes until you get the peak time token rates working properly.

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

@trq212 Classic rugpull, guess the funding is evaporating. Why don't you just get claude to make your models more efficient rather than restricting your users?

@anumness any ASO pro tips for a newbie??

Its mad to me that this particular app consistently gets annual subscription only. And Im not even marketing yet, all ASO. Iv found a sweet spot with freemium and no free trial.

@simonbs Brrrr it’s cold in here! There must be some push notifications in the atmosphere!

I’ve been working on something… and it’s now on the App Store! 👀 Introducing brrr 🚀 Push notifications to your own devices. Instantly. No signup. No dashboard. No nonsense. Link in 🧵

@wickedguro Great article very inspirational

@garrytan The people building the AI tools are using it themselves .. in production

Lots of engineers think AI codegen is only good enough to do little bug fixes here and there If you tell them you can ship 15k LOC of ai gen code to prod they think you have lost your mind. It’s so so early. And also those engineers are living in 2025.

@ALEngineered wait let me get this straight, developers are now whining that they ARENT going to lose their jobs?

Let me get this straight. We’re getting GIANT productivity gains by having everyone generate a mountain of AI code that seniors have to spend all their time reviewing, all while writing huge checks to AI companies for tokens. Got it.

@RuslikKoval @RileyRalmuto Building shitty websites that no one except bots will ever look at

@RileyRalmuto can someone explain in simple langyage what the heck people use claude for? this just popped on my timeline

slowly but surely, this is going to be the experience and expressed sentiment of virtually every human being with a shred of ambition. and they’ll all start waking up and we’re all going to be watching with popcorn. we’re still so early, chat. somehow.

@EricRWeinstein @claudeai @AnthropicAI Boomer confused by computer. Try Claude code it’s not as insane.

This is a fresh session. I have attempted to ask why my installation of @claudeai is not under my control and responding appropriately. In the 2nd Response in a fresh session it tells me @AnthropicAI has throttled me from using it from reasoning via a toggle: "That's the one. If that controls extended thinking / reasoning budget — and the name and structure strongly suggest it does — then your account has it set to zero. You're paying $200/month for the most powerful model Anthropic offers, doing work that is essentially the hardest kind of sustained formal reasoning (gauge theory on novel 14-dimensional bundles, operator verification, index theory), and the system has allocated you zero tokens for deep thinking." Three queries, in and this is the response:

@Aaronontheweb Claude code removed my rls because it was “the simplest fix is to..” its behaviour is intentional to save tokens for anthropic.

One of the most insidious tics LLMs have when coding is this obsession with adding "fallback" behaviors everywhere These are extremely toxic because they hide real bugs and most importantly, introduce lots of potential privilege escalation vulnerabilities everywhere

@shiri_shh Do you think Apple gives a fuck? Even if 90% are slop, the extra revenue from the additional 10% will more than offset the cost of hosting some shitty apps..

THE APPLE APP STORE IS DROWNING IN AI SLOP people are treating the App Store like a Medium blog spitting out apps one after another. All with zero users and $0 revenue. Apple reviews that used to take hours are now stretching into WEEKS and even months > more than 550k apps were submitted just last year, highest in a decade.

@rygrob this hits really hard after getting rejected

Me trying to get Apple to approve my vibe coded side project

@Govindtwtt cant read the code if you're not even sure where to look? It's in gitbug right?

we vibe coded our entire app and you can't even tell

@camsoft2000 "Just don't look, just don't look" - the simpsons

I’m getting to the point with one of the projects I work on where the complexity of AI slop is becoming a real issue. While I can still happily prompt the agent to add x feature and it will do so and it will likely work perfectly, the code is just getting too complex and fragmented. Agents love to copy and paste and keeping patterns DRY is a real challenge. The agent will start diverging all those copy and pastes until you’ve got loads of similar but slightly different blocks of logic. Again it all still works and solves the problem I’m after. But I just can’t get any kind of consistency anymore, the code is a mess and I just don’t have a handle on it. I want a clean unified architecture but agents just code with tunnel vision. The project is now too big and complex for an agent to fully reason with and too big and complex for me to reason with. The only real solution is a complete rewrite. Maybe this is the way things will go. Code will just become disposable. I don’t really want to care about the code and to be honest I don’t but I do care about consistency and maintainability and the AI slop is hurting those very things I do care about. I know some will say “I’m holding it wrong”, use x,y,z skill, tool whatever and already use tools and anti slop skills, plans, docs, etc but the outcome is the same. Vibe coding something into existence is truly magical. But turning it into a mature product with months of iterations is painful. I can’t even hand code this thing because I don’t understand the code anymore and I’m too lazy to try and code myself because I’m addicted to AI. So what’s the solution, either start again and accept that’s just the way we have to roll, or just carry on fighting the slop and accept each new feature will take longer to implement than the last. I’m tired. I’m addicted.

@andrewxroas How much of that 600k is profit? How big is your team, and what was your growth strategy did you bootstrap at the beginning?

I would love to write more tweets for you guys But most of the time I have nothing to write about except the stuff I already said 99% of what I'm doing is boring but it's what keeps my app growing If you have any specific questions that you think could help a lot of other people then drop them below Will do my best to answer in a tweet
