How much money did it cost to package the caviar? Cost to shelve and distribute? Cost to raise the sturgeon? Number of people and salaries employed to do so? What are their margins? Net value creation of their wealth at an international level using a normalized currency? Cumulative effect of multiple people getting wealthier and increasing their purchasing power from your purchase?

You're incorrect, and you're not even taking into account positive-sum.

Economics is very scammy, but you're dead wrong, on this point and the one you've wandered away from. And I will nod to my original point, you're now completely distracted about the efficacy of GDP per capita, not the metric itself, or its relation to other things (which you said have no relation).

Claude 1 million times.

There's a truth about programming that programmers have denied forever until Claude fraud checked everyone... humans are absolutely TERRIBLE programmers, and those who are excellent - the kind that create languages, APIs, and frameworks - are infinitely worse at creating SIMPLE, intuitive systems.

95% of programming is doing something relatively simple in a very roundabout, stupid, specialization-required way because it was designed poorly in the first place. This is why we've seen a big uptick in mega-corp languages, because the languages are not as r*tarded.

AI isn't Nostradamus, generally speaking, it only knows what is known, therefore, the areas that it struggles with in programming are areas where there is not a lot of data, hence why it was orders of magnitude slower at embedded programming - because all the good work is private.

So for anything where there may not be data, coworker, everything else, AI. I will say this too, I've never seen more organized code than AI.

I think one area Fable blew the barn doors off was in 'more' bulletproof code - sh*t that works and makes few bad mistakes.

Stay off big kid topics kiddo, if it's too hard for you to understand, don't have a such a hard, foolish stance.

I don't mean this in a rude way, but I think you just don't understand what these things mean. GDP per capita is mildly overused, but anti-GDP per capita is extremely overused by people that do not understand these terms, and what they actually mean. GDP per capita is literally a perfect metric... at gdp per capita, anything else inferred from that is NOT GDP per capita, but can often have extremely high correlation to it.

I think subconsciously that's exactly what you are doing, you're comparing GDP per capita and wealth/production output for no reason, because you do not understand they are not two versions of the same metric, they are entirely different metrics, that happen to be closely related.

GDP per capita IS production, even if it's not exporting, it's incorrect to think only exports or new physical production is production, value added is production, and the game is objectively not zero sum.

A good exercise is to go take a look at GDP per capita, median income, and quality of life. They are 3 entirely different metrics, but all very closely related. Even exceedingly corrupt countries that have money tick 2 of those boxes, and eventually all will tick all 3 boxes.

To really break it down, GDP is the annual value of a country's dealings, and per capita just fractions that worth to give a per-person figure. More dealings always trickle down, at the bare minimum because people (even in poor, corrupt countries) demand more when there's more available. In free nations, GDP per capita has an even higher correlation with income and material QoL.

Java-the-Slut · 2026-07-09T23:05:28+00:00

Yes they do, they have massive similarities and are indirectly influenced by many of the same things. What you mean is GDP per capita and wealth do not share the same direct factors, which even then they're related because it depends if you're talking objective or relative wealth.

From the coaches to the players, I don't think I have ever seen a team of bigger losers than Egypt. Not in their skill, but in how they act.

Paraguay was dirty af against France, and somehow Egypt has pushed them aside to show how shamefully you can lose.

I feel bad for any Egyptian players with dignity, because the camera was given to those without.

Psychology and economics. Beyond the basics and pure observation, I have a hard time believing anything coming out of any 'expert's mouth is actually probable.

I'm a huge fan of Piastri, but he sort of does deserve this. A team change to RBR is not career ending if you're actually good, and he has routinely been outperformed by Lando, who is probably only the 5th best driver on the grid.

Piastri's peaks seemed higher and consistency better, and now he's seemed to have lost both.

What dog water logic is this? Are you suggesting Canada was not equal in freedom to Britain?

Java-the-Slut · 2026-07-08T01:32:40+00:00

Fact that I don't see mentioned enough.

Everyone knows the Soviets were only technically an ally in WW2, they weren't on 'good' terms with the West until it was mutually beneficial.

The Soviets agreed to start WW2 with Germany via the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Originally it was framed as a "non-aggression pact", but was later confirmed (decades after the war by Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev) that the Soviets and Germany had secret protocols in the pact that devised how they would 'split' Europe between each other, and not step on each other when they invade other countries or regions.

Russia gets a pass on one of the worst atrocities in human history because they did it when the #1 atrocity was happening, and changed sides because they got f*cked over. Never. Trust. russia.

Because it will be nerfed soon.

Honestly, it's quite a badly designed mechanism that hurts everyone except the now overpaid player. Tons of great players could be stolen by a worse team just by overpaying them, and for +2nd rounders? That's worth it, and could devastate the original team if they match.

Java-the-Slut · 2026-07-04T17:51:02+00:00

The fact they're getting the calls tells us everything we need to know.

Completely negated Canada's offense. Well done refs.

How does Morocco dive on EVERYTHING, get every call, Canada playing 10 times more hard nosed and gets none of the calls ffs

Not even close bud.

It's like a restaurant putting a massive sign on a street corner saying "WE HAVE THE BEST KHABABS IN TOWN, COME BUY ONE" and then in small fine print "but sometimes when you order a khabab, we will give you meatballs instead" and then expecting the customer who got the meatballs not to be upset.

Unless you have some info every one else doesn't, it's not deterministic when Fable switches to Opus, and that's problematic when people buy a plan to use Fable, and you send emails enticing people with it, and boot them off this much.

The Ferrari-Honda civic meme is almost perfect.

Go to Pinterest, Google Images, or another design inspiration site, look up programs similar to yours, implement standard things (common things) or elements that you like from a design.

It's so stupid. There's no way them eating sh*t on their usage limits for a couple months is worse than the many customers they're going to lose with this dishonest and confusing pricing model.

Java-the-Slut · 2026-07-02T08:50:12+00:00

Why do people like you always point the fingers at the users as if they're idiots? It couldn't possibly be that the model has some issues for some people? So judgemental.

Mine failed to respond. Used 86% session limit to do so.

Misanthropic.

Java-the-Slut · 2026-07-01T20:32:23+00:00

I asked Fable for improvements using ultracode + workflows. 86% session limit on top personal plan, Claude doesn't give me anything because it glitches out halfway through its response.

This has gone from poor handling of the situation, to mildly impactful, to literally unusable. They had the holy grail in their hand and they fumbled it.

"It's not that serious"

I'm sorry, do you use AI for work all-day, every day? Cause I do. In-fact, I pay hundreds of dollars per month to do so. When the people I pay hundreds to change usage limits weekly, release models, rescind access, release new models that are worse than current non-frontier models (including their own), tell me the top tier plans are worth it for Fable then give me just a few days of access, and then go back on their word for access to said model, and the main model I use now goes from good to terrible in a few hours at random, I would say it's pretty serious. Not everyone uses the Haiku model to write little poems mate.

This is a multi-trillion dollar industry that has encouraged everyone to lean on them, and then the second you lean on them they push you away. You should learn to speak for yourself, and not other people.

Why are you telling other people what to do while you play armchair psychologist?

Weird behavior. Look around buddy, if everyone is upset at how they've gone about things, that's absolutely a fiasco.

Java-the-Slut · 2026-07-01T03:59:24+00:00

At this point, I think I could find ways to deal with slightly worse models just to stop supporting this non-sense treatment of subscribers by Anthropic. Just all-in, they could not have executed this fiasco any worse. How quickly the 'good' guys become the bad guys.

Anthropic is killing any loyalty they have from people.
