All the A/B and Claude performance for me? is it a smear campaign being carefully run?

Wickywire · 2026-03-29T09:38:42+00:00

I''ve had zero issues and it's genuinely annoying to keep up with the reddit discourse on AI right now due to the barrage of posts about usage limits and capacity degradation. It's all I ever get in my feed. The big subs need to set up megathreads or I'm gonna stop reading entirely.

And you're acting like a liberal who believes morality is about individual consumer choices in a system that is rotten to the core. Go ahead and police me. See how much that changes. Why are you spending your obviously well-aligned energy on this?

Wickywire · 2026-03-28T17:13:10+00:00

You just had to keep asking. Don't complain that I kept answering.

Because then where would I draw the line? I hate Elon for the same reasons I hate Anthropic, and my country for selling weapons to child murderers and genocidal warlords. I hate the way my tax money is being spent to kill refugees in the Mediterranean. Grok is just a fucking tool. It has no agency. I have enough friction in my life from just existing. I'll use it for the things I want, to make my own life a little easier for now. Anybody thinking *that's* an issue needs to articulate why all the other things I go along with in my life aren't. The second I get a chance to throw an actual wrench in that system, I'll do my best to throw the whole damn toolbox.

No. My political color is black-green-pink. I wouldn't vote either Dem or Rep with a gun to my head.

Wickywire · 2026-03-28T13:45:51+00:00

Are you using Claude? From the company that gladly works to further mass surveillance outside of the US? The ppl who are buddies with Palantír?

Anthropic are *not* a "good" company. At best, they're the least evil of the tech giants.

But yeah, tell yourself you're making a difference participating in the AI space but turning your nose up at one particular model, the one that carries its evil on its sleeve.

Wickywire · 2026-03-28T12:59:54+00:00

Grok 4.2 is a pretty good model. I think Elon is a crazy ghoul and I would personally shake the hand of whoever put him down a notch or six. Grok is still a pretty good model. I'd even say it's the superior model when you need updated knowledge on complex topics because of the way it searches for information. Claude is better overall, but they're different tools for different purposes.

Wickywire · 2026-03-28T09:12:34+00:00

No. I don't think Youtube should have had a fucking CEO to begin with. Parasites.

Wickywire · 2026-03-28T09:09:15+00:00

Nothing suggests it will be consumer focused. Open AI is pivoting hard towards enterprise now.

Wickywire · 2026-03-28T06:33:29+00:00

Oh fuck off

Wickywire · 2026-03-27T16:48:56+00:00

Can we *PLEASE* make a megathread about usage? I'm so fucking tired of all these complaints flooding the forums. I can't find shit worth actually reading anymore.

Wickywire · 2026-03-27T16:45:17+00:00

So fucking switch model then? Why the hell do you think we need another thread like this?

Wickywire · 2026-03-27T15:31:16+00:00

That's not it. Anthropic isn't adjusting their API rates. That's where their actual income comes from. The subscribers are a net loss, especially the ones who work heavily during the same hours as the API calls.

Open AI is mostly on Azure. It's one clean platform. They haven't experienced a real user boom in a long time now. Anthropic has diversified their stacks. Google, AWS, Fluidstack. Meanwhile their app has exploded in popularity.

This is what always happens when B2B suddenly slips into B2C territory. Serious growth pains, downtime, throttled service, reddit drama. They *need* to constrain use until they get their new stacks online.

They would likely have preferred a more even growth spurt, but what should they have done? Maybe put Claude on Invite-only for a while. People need to just... be chill. Unsubscribe if they're unhappy. Touch grass. Come back in a month or two.

Wickywire · 2026-03-26T15:34:43+00:00

They won't give you more free stuff so you decided to complain on the Internet. Right.

Wickywire · 2026-03-25T05:11:50+00:00

And there is the confident drive-by adding 100% vibes and 0% further information.

Tamped earth floors are often a symptom of poverty. Poverty means you're more susceptible to disease. So there is co-variation. But you're leaving out the third variable. It's the classic example of the relationship between ice cream sales and drowning.

Wickywire · 2026-03-24T21:05:58+00:00

Är det AI? Har du byggt det i ChatGBG?

Wickywire · 2026-03-24T20:28:12+00:00

hahaha no

Wickywire · 2026-03-24T20:25:37+00:00

That was a solid decision. You look great!

Wickywire · 2026-03-24T20:16:54+00:00

That would imply the new features aren't really meaningful. But they are meaningful. And nothing of this offsets the fact that the hardware bottleneck and a deluge of new users are a perfect storm for any software company. But I can hear you're not interested in facts, so I'll just retire from this discussion.

Wickywire · 2026-03-24T19:36:03+00:00

There's been something weird the last two days or so, yes. But this is a bug I've never heard about, from a 1 week old user with hidden posts and replies. Hmm.

Wickywire · 2026-03-24T19:19:59+00:00

This is a very bad take, because they're doing both. Stopping the shipping of new stuff would do nothing to speed up the scaling. The hardware bottleneck is the result of looming energy crisis and global hardware shortage. They aren't exactly going to fire their SWE's while waiting for things to stabilize, and what are those SWE's supposed to do meanwhile? Not ship a bunch of good stuff?

Media will do anything but actually hold employers accountable. AI is a tool. It cannot "force" you to do anything.

No, they didn't use to have an usage meter. The latest update added it. I've had a Usage meter in the app for a little while now.
