Sometimes you are forced to use it - e.g. Bun in Claude Code. I like Opus models, but can't run them outside of Claude Code/Bun in subscription models.

Why not just change ownership then? I'd bet some people would be interested to pay some money for that...

It happened to me today. I was reading agent's answer and it asked me something. I didn't even get to the question - it accepted something! Jesus Christ. Where are the software engineers?!

I’ve seen that a few times. Had to disable the TUI mode because clicks to focus the terminal window were being interpreted as an approval even though the click was nowhere near the question being asked. I’ve also never chosen to enable auto mode but somehow it is on and approving shell commands I didn’t want approved. Scary since I’ve caught it adding things like auto approve flags to terraform apply commands.

I’d really suggest to run Claude Code in a sandbox! Anthropic can’t be trusted.

I run it on Mac with sandbox-exec. No access to AWS, database, pretty much just files in the current folder. Even if it goes rogue, it can’t do much harm.

Love the car, Toyota rocks with these GR cars (Corolla, Yaris). Mods are also super cool!

Give them a bottle of scotch and pack of cigarettes as well.

yeah i’m not sure where people are coming from when they imply the best way to fight off an extremely addictive thing is to use it.

we warn kids about the impacts of heroin, we don’t shoot them up with it.

Feels like the seventies. Remember the time when tobacco CEO-s sweared, that they didn’t know cigarettes are unhealthy?

Rust Bun has been running Claude for some time now.

I'd be inclined to trust production code in such a large usebase.

China still doesn’t have EUV. How will they make competitive chips? Is TSMC allowed to make them?

Who says you need EUV? I assume these will be model on chip not general purpose like GPUs. Hence you can get crazy performance even with larger dies.

Can you be competitive with DUV? They are pushing it to the limit, but will it make sense?

TPUs are on the 7nm node. I assume that this what their chips will be like.

China has EUV.

Anywhere else in the world it’s possible to do this orders of magnitude cheaper.

But yes, it’s because of “options” and not because of greed.

Some group of people tries to extract as much money as possible. You can call this capitalism. I think it’s a big scam.

I expected an article about resetting an Xbox device.

I want only their model, the rest is just garbage. I used Opus with pi.dev, worked perfectly fine. Fast and does exactly what it needs to do. Claude Code is slow, sluggish, buggy. Why are you forcing me to use it? Why should I pay an order of magnitude more to use pi.dev? That doesn't sound reasonable to me.

> Why should I pay an order of magnitude more to use pi.dev?

The monthly plans are heavily subsidized by the API users - why should Anthropic subsidize your use of pi.dev?

Where is the difference when I hit my 5 hour limit or weekly limit with Claude Code compared to PI or OpenCode?

If you do it outside of Claude Code, you're not using their software, which is the intended outcome of the subsidy.

Why?

What additional benefit do they get if I use their tools?

Every request goes to their LLM either way

Well, they are wishing to lock you into their ecosystem, so that switching would be a high-friction decision. And then they can simply raise prices without you leaving.

There is no evidence that subscriptions lose money. It’s just as likely that subscriptions break even and the api has 10x margins

I’m not sure why are people throwing the word “subsidizing” so much. Do we know that they are actually losing money on subscriptions?

Because if not that’s just normal market segmentation since enterprise users are willing to pay many times mores than private individuals.

Anthropic isn’t setting is’s price based on cost + fixed profit margin they are charging as much as each market is willing to bear..
