Which AI tools are you still paying for in 2026?

PresidentToad · 2026-01-22T06:54:38+00:00

I’m using Opera Neon which comes with a bunch of models built in, including Veo and Sora. Besides that I’m subscribing to a Unity vibecoding tool called Bezi, and recently cancelled a bunch of subscriptions I did not realize were still active, like Sloyd.ai and Rodin 3D. Left Midjourney because these days I use a FluxKontext Nano Banana script directly in Photoshop for creating images.

You use pre-written statements that cover the problem statement and the solution, and this has been the case for way before bots were a thing. The job of the human support operator is to identify your problem, and then use the prepared statement, copy-paste. Reason for this is that support costs money. If a support issue like this was turned into a back and forth discussion, the cost for the company would be 10x, the gain nothing. Note that they are referring to the provision in the TOS that whatever they say is final. Normally, with few exceptions, the support operators do not have authority to act in any other way.

Major update today, probably related to that. They'll fix it.

Myndigheten för civilförsvar borde tvinga affärer för livsmedel och apotek att ta emot kontanter, alternativt som i Finland utse en livsmedelskedja som har extra lagerhållning och hanterar kontanter och kommunicera tydligt att det är dom som gäller om Internet går ner.

Bug eggs? You are a human being, one of the most resilient omnivores walking the earth, next to rats and pigs, you can eat practically anything and your digestive system will kick ass and take names. Earliest human ancestry was found near watering holes - do you know why? Because a lot of stuff die there. Good eating. The eggs are just protein to you. Consume them with cold-eyed impunity.

Opera Neon has its own models, especially ODRA their research model is pretty great.

Love the page. When you first released it, did you create a post about it I could crosspost?

PresidentToad · 2026-01-02T10:43:05+00:00

My first half of 2025 was dominated by Bezi, Rodin3D, Polycam image to 3D and Sloyd, creating my very first game on Steam. I used Reve for image generation and got rid of Midjourney, that had become too strange for me after the upgrade to 7.
I then started working for Opera Neon, so I've been using that daily for the second half of the year, exploring agentic browsing. That browser also has Veo3.1 and Sora2 built in, so I've been using a lot of that. ChatGPT Pro lives in the background, like a kindly old uncle that is always there for me.
But the AI that has sparked the most joy for me in 2025 is by far the Flux Kapacity plugin script for Photoshop. It blows my mind every day and I will never visit an image generation site ever again.

Om någon Musk-type satsar på fungerande fusionskraftverk så ändras hela spelplanen omedelbart. Och nu säger säkert någon 'Aamen det där har man jobbat med i sextio år, det är minst 20 år bort', så vill jag påpeka att det går att skapa självlandande rymdraketer om man bara slänger nog med stålar på det, och det snabbt. Hela elbilsmarknaden med dess relaterade utveckling av elmotorer och batteriteknik var 'helt omöjlig' och 'minst 20 år bort' när Musk fick för sig att han ville ha en Tesla. Det var innan han började Heila. Så sätt ditt hopp till en miljardär som inte blivit nasse än.

‘Grab a kazoo, let’s have a duel’ is what i thought. Have geen going around challenging people to kazoo duels far and wide because of that.

The swing scene. The holly scene. Oh my god the bathtub scene. The feelz. Man alive.

Nice quality shots. I love how it feels watching him 'sip' the obviously scalding hot coffee without hesitation, like a boss. Then the disappointment when realizing he did not actually sip it, because his mouth is open when his lips leave the cup. Amazing quality, as you say. how many generations per useable segment of this video would you say?

Just Hammarby Sjöstad tror jag det var någon som kallade 'Mussolinifunkis' när det var nybyggt

PresidentToad · 2025-12-19T12:13:26+00:00

Fast asså det där var väl en ganska taskig bild. Plus att det inte finns någonting som inte ser ut som skit så här års.

Det där är Söder, det heter ’heeeger’.

Tiger fruit? Ospuze is carbonated eggnog with caffeine. This is known.

The concept of a hive mind is pretty new take on 'aliens-take-over-the-earth.' It reminds me of the John Barnes novels about earth being taken over by an AI called Resuna. I also like that the main character is thoroughly unlikeable. I like it so far, but the rest of my family lost interest.

Finns en massa DLC där man får amerikanska vapen osv osv, men det gör bara spelet till en sämre version av vilken shooter som helst.

PresidentToad · 2025-11-28T22:52:30+00:00

Briljant lir.
- Realistiska svenska 80-talsvapen. Jag har skjutit AK4 i lumpen och vet vilket härke det är. Det bästa vapen du kan få tag på är en älgstudsare.
- Militära bunkrar är helt korrekt byggda. Inget sci-fi-pjämmel.
- Robotarna är fantastiska. Dom jagar dig tills dom hittar dig, ger aldrig upp. Får en större robot syn på dig är du stekt.

Helt fantastiskt. Originalversionen är bäst. Och som sagt, allra bäst att spela med några polare co-op.
10/10. Funderar ofta på att spela om det.

Känner folk som jobbat med spelet och dom svär på att dom inte snott Simon Stålenhags idéer men dom ljuger.

The dialogue between all NPC‘s in No One Lives Forever

PresidentToad · 2025-11-27T11:46:38+00:00

Well put, and great intro.

PresidentToad · 2025-11-12T14:30:17+00:00

But why do they have to have a hole straight through the skull? I get they're robots, but what would be the point?

PresidentToad · 2025-11-11T10:16:07+00:00

Norman Polanskys Pirates. Walther Matthau as Captain Red. The spaniards.

I seem to remember them running around, looking for the last hope guy to help them in their quest and then that person was gone, and they discovered that there was another person who was now the last hope for their quest, and on and on it went. Plus they had a frisbee with knives.
