You ran out of tokens so much faster because the Anthropic plans come with 3-5x less token budget at the same cost.

Cline is not in the same league as codex cli btw. You can use codex models via Copilot OAuth in pi.dev. Just make sure to play with thinking level. This would give roughly the same experience as codex CLI.

When both decide to stop subsidized plans, only OpenAI will be somewhat affordable.

Based on what? Why is one more affordable over another? Substantiating your claim would provide a better discussion.

> politically aligned AI company

Like grok/xAI you mean?

I meant in a general sense. grok/xAI are politically aligned with whatever Musk wants. I haven't used their products but yes they're likely harmful in some ways.

My concern is more over time if the federal government takes a more active role in trying to guide corporate behavior to align with moral or political goals. I think that's already occurring with the current administration but over a longer period of time if that ramps up and AI is woven into more things it could become much more harmful.

I don’t think people will just accept that. They‘ll use some European or Chinese model instead that doesn’t have that problem.

Codex warns me to renew API tokens if it ingests them (accidentally?). Opus starts the decompiler as soon as I ask it how this and that works in a closed binary.

Does this comment imply that you view "running a decompiler" at the same level of shadiness as stealing your API keys without warning?

I don't think that's what you're trying to convey.

Opus <3. My go-to for reverse engineering tasks.

Also look into voxtral, their new model is good and half the price if you can live without streaming.

Thank you, it was time for my annual check on the status of Doors of Stone. Whelp. I wonder why LLMs don’t help such cases of writer’s block.

I guess AGI is reached, then. The SOTA models make fun of the question.

Clawhub was locked down, I couldn’t publish new skills even as a previous contributor. Not what I‘d call a shrug.

> A hallucinated edge case in a tax calculation doesn't throw an error.

Would double entry book keeping not catch this?

Not necessarily. Double entry bookkeeping catches errors in cases where an amount posted to one account does not have an equally offsetting post in another account or accounts (i.e., it catches errors when the books do not balance). It would not on its own catch errors where the original posted amount is incorrect due to a mistaken assumption, or if the offset balances but is allocated incorrectly.

Well the other ledgers are usually based off other data sources, so there is cross checking no?
