And just this week Claude limited Code access to their higher plans. Ooooohhhh I feel the circle tightening.
It feels like the enshittification cycle is so fast these days. There's not even any time to get comfy as a frog in the pot before they turn up the gas! 🐸
It's their mistake. Proles are noticing.
If you're not using local models these companies have got you by the balls
AI is ethically bankrupt, regardless of where it's run or hosted.
Does that mean you think there is no difference ethically? Have you thought about what corporations like Microsoft are going to do with the power they are accumulating here? Regardless, it's worth considering that from the perspective of a programmer who is looking to incorporate AI into their work and learn to rely on it, there are risks with using these services that work against their interests, and that's true independently of any ethical considerations.
if you're using AI to code AI may have you by the balls anyway
Good. This may reduce the amount of sloppy code being created. And prevent prices from increasing for everyone.
How creative of them, finding ways to enshittify an already shitty product.
How good that my laptop doesn't have this stupid copilot button so that I can safely delete this garbage software without loosing esthetics and functionality of a laptop.
AI is so dumb but at least we have Ed Zitron.
