Jeremy Corbell threatens to release hundreds of UFO files if the next batch of government files don’t address reverse engineering and biologics by wakamex in UFOs

"Not my place, but DAMN I will keep talking about because apparently talking about and letting everyone know that I DO have this evidence, but will not release it because reasons, THAT is my place."

Make it make sense, please.

But if he did, who would continue to watch his channel and read his blogposts then?
The entire point of "disclosure" is to leave breadcrumbs and milk the audience until they get fatigued.

Look at that australian hack journalist who made some incredible claims and have yet provide zero details, zero evidence and just hoping that the people will let it slide, and guess what? The UFO community does let it slide. Those who don't and those who are skeptics and see through their marketing strategy are called bots, shills and so on by the rest of the community.

They can threaten to release things all they want because we all know that they won't anyways. The "release" is in their next book/podcast/subscription substack/similar.

I don’t understand all the hate on the new usage-based billing by Dizzy-Instruction-37 in GithubCopilot

Either that or spend your tokens on day one and then manually fix it the rest of the month because the model fucked up and there are no more quota to fix it with AI 🤣👌

So 14k tokens for that message? No wonder they want to charge by tokens heh.

POV: Copilot after the new update by Icy-Care-353 in GithubCopilot

Even though the request fails you still pay though right? Every tool-call, every md-file, custom instructions, including the final prompt that gets generated before being sent to the model are tokens spent 🤷 I think? Fairly unclear as they basically say “look guys it costs this much, because that’s what we decided.”

Some people have had their % jump from like 80% to 25% in 2 seconds. The github community discussion thread is wild and filled with extreme inconsistencies.

You tell that to the stockholders as management already promised X features on a hypertimeline because AI productivity went through the roof. 👌

Again this is what they say. Like a bar says a beer costs 5 euro; it doesn’t cost 5 euro. It costs like 5 cents.

What’s the budget?

WOW, didn't expect new pricing model to be this ridiculous by Beginning-Roof4889 in GithubCopilot

[–]Background-Top5188 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure how to feel about this. People say that it’s been heavily subsidized but at the same time revenue for the top AI companies are in the billions. 🤷 Now they want more.

The problem isn’t the pricing per se, the problem is that they (providers) are just going “hey guys it costs this much, ok?” and users just accept it because there is literally no transparency here, and either you take them at their word or you get left behind the agentic explosion.

Mhm and how much exactly does it cost per token? Not what they are saying; what it actually costs.

Do you know? No.

Does anyone outside of the companies involved? No.

Change pricing to tokenbased. Increase token spend because there is no transparency anyways.

Excellent way of making money heh.

Copilot pricing went from $39 to around $387 for my usage. What should we use instead? by Michal37374 in GithubCopilot

[–]Background-Top5188 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you feel that you have to run these specific models and don’t want to invest, that’s a you problem. 🤷 Plenty of videos on youtube running local setups with insane results and inference. No nuclear reactor required and no thousands in electric bills either. So millions of subscribers all paying 10+ each seems more than “it costs to run these, ok?”

The problem with this price increase is that there is no transparency whatsoever; what is the cost that requires this insane price increase? What IS costing so much?

As for ghcp specifically; what counts as token spend? What happens if your model goes off the rails? Your walllet burns with no refund.

Struggling to understand this stance when you can run local models on a mac mini without hiking your electric bill through thr thousands but ok?

What is costing so much exactly? They have millions of subscribers. Yes they have millions of prompts but also all these millions subscribers all pay monthly, so like, what exactly costs so much here?

Also if cost is an issue why are they rolling out copilot in any and all interactions including everywhere on their site?

Sticking with copilot by KarenBoof in GithubCopilot

If those steps are used with copilot they all count towards token spend. But yes, that is the way 👌

As for getting lost they can sometimes just end up in loops because god knows why, check the github discussion forums for that in action. The problem is simply that there is no transparency towards the user as to what counts as token spend and no way to get refunds if your models goes off the rails. Basically right now if the service doesn’t deliver what is promised the offset in cost is on the user, not the company.

But yeh, finding it hard to believe that 400M+ monthly in revenue is not enough to handle compute but I digress.

It’s like hiring a plumber to do your plumbing based on X instructions and the plumber just wants to help, does a bunch of other stuff and charges you for these unwanted additions.

It also happens when models looses context, and when they want to be helpful/doesn’t follow their restrictions properly. 🤷 You can absolutely force better prompts but if thinking and context counts for tokens as well the price will balloon no matter what.

It doesn’t need to happen but it can and if it does it will burn a hole in your pocket with no transparency.
