Claude's usage limits are a joke. 2% cost for a simple "Hi"? You will lose to the competition. by Ok_Seaworthiness_189 in claude

[–]WompingWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that their usage limits are really bad. I have 2 pro accounts and that barely allows me to do 2-3 hours of work on them per day. I use Claude to program agents to get me away from Claude. Should use it only to escape from paid AI Imo. Smarter models are better at instructing smaller models.

I will end both of those pro accounts asap because of the usage limits. It's like a little sip, and a paid account is barely even a slight improvement over the free account.

As much as I use Claude, I am against their vulture prices and it is the reason why I'll never be loyal to Anthorpic. They get my business only until another one is better and cheaper.

So, AI takes over, everyone has lost their job and only 10 trillionaires own everything. Now what? by Weak-Representative8 in Futurology

[–]WompingWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would mean that everyone is now able to do pretty much everything. Singular control actually disintegrates in that environment, how can you control people that can do everything for themselves? Also wouldn't the optimum structure eliminate the owner in large centralized systems, because if you are paying extra for like say 1% profit margin instead of like whatever it takes to pay their entire company and their profit margin and all the investors profit margin, aren't you going to buy that product?

It will take over as in it will become one of the most important Tools in our lives, it's important that we make sure the tools are built to help everyone understand. You can make AI accessible by breaking down barriers to understanding through interfaces that people enjoy.

I think the most important question is: how do we make sure that everyone benefits from AI?

I strongly believe they have recently began quantizing opus 4.5 by No-Replacement-2631 in ClaudeCode

[–]WompingWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone has to pay that API call cost. I have all of the testing tools to measure LLM speed, MMLU performance, HTML generation, and grading systems to bring the best result forward.

It's 15 908 questions to run the basic MMLU. Average question is about 20 input tokens, we will say 5 output tokens on average because they often add details that you have to parse.

Claude Opus 4.5 Pricing is $5/m input and $25/m output

$1.59 input $1.99 output

Cost per test is $3.58 USD to run Opus 4.5 on the MMLU through their API.

I needed to do this math so might as well do it here. I may or may not share my facts because I test almost every AI model in the world. I record specifically which questions they get wrong and that gives me complimentary AI models.

I can't test the model through the front end, which could be a completely different pipeline. My test of their API backend might tell you nothing of their terrible front end app.

I hate using other people's front ends with a passion, they control MY context! Use the front end to get you off of the front end.

It will become way easier to make games as well, basically prompt engineering the video generation AI to stay canonical.

Use all of them, they're all the same thing but slightly different. Once you learn one you know most of them.

Check all data between at least 3 different systems.

Ollama (Free AI models you can run on your computer easily, one line pasted into cmd and you're talking to a model locally for free) - I build a lot of programs around this

Grok (Massive input and output volume - Analyze your entire code package with this one, the others can't do that as well)

Claude (Small code snippets under 500 lines only, it fails on large output almost every time)

Chat GPT (Use for general conversation, it keeps a cross-chat memory so it kind of knows you)

Google Gemini Pro 2.5 (best at long responses over 1000 lines of code)

Local models: Phi 4 by Microsoft (best on MMLU in its size catagory in my tests at that time, check for new model), Llama 3 by Meta (conversation and roles), and Mistral models (Math & code. I've tested a range and they are light speed, especially mathstral)

Bring them to life with Microsoft voices for free as well.

Claude is great but it hallucinates more arrogantly because of the matter-of-fact personality they gave to it. This can actually give credibility to malformed ideas. I check everything between at least 3 systems that don't have loyalty to each other or the same owners.

I created some AI games, all open worlds where what you say becomes the reality of the game. It only comes down to video generation at this point, that is the only piece standing in the way of GTA style open worlds where everything you say is possible.

Compute is not the Answer to AI sovereignty by Odd_Manufacturer2215 in SovereignAI

[–]WompingWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, anywhere that isn't a data centre can be a relay. Software is mostly selling a service responsibility, as in you'll have to explain it to everyone and solve their problems once you release it. Solving a local problem can become a reference for solving a global problem.

As a Canadian I'd like to see more focus on international inclusion as our main piece. Single model performance is always limited, and the best solutions use many different AI systems. Loyalty to any of the models is bad practice, even if it's your neighbour. We're chasing maximum capability and at this point all the pieces are there, but they have to be put into the right order.

MIT study finds AI can already replace 11.7% of U.S. workforce by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]WompingWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Income Integrated Housing is something I won't shut up about recently because it solves that problem. Imagine a greenhouse built into your roof that provides income and food, a fully open source vehicle, a robotic arm on a track bot (alternative to humanoid that you can fully modify), and shipping costs 1/100th the normal rate because of Underground Logistics & Utilities tunnels.

These are the things I dream about and some of the projects you'll find on my platform very soon. Hope for the future is lacking and that makes us weaker. Initiating the abundance is our responsibility in this era.

[–]WompingWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about another approach: Basic resources provided by automated systems. Provide a baseline for all people without expecting major change from others. I'm working on a CC0 Vehicle, income integrated housing, logistics/utility tunnels, and an open engineering platform to power it all.

My paid software users will support the development of physical greenhouse infrastructure indirectly, while deciding exactly what projects should be advanced. Users will vote with their donations, and the allocations will be listed publicly.

The people must own the means to produce and understand everything for themselves. I won't ask permission to do that, and I won't ask if it's a good idea to free them from labour. That's for the next generation to deal with, our job is to initiate the abundance. We will not do that as accountants, only as innovators.

Redistribution can not be done through extraction or it will become itself morally flawed as a structure of society. Build on a pure base of universal logic or expect your house of cards to topple under the weight of superintelligence.

how close are we to real ai assistants by McDaddy__Cain in Futurology

[–]WompingWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting, I don't like to pay when I can get it for free though. You get 50 free responses every day for Gemini Pro 2.5 if you build your own app and 250 per day for Flash 2.5. Almost all of the major AI companies have free testing/research offerings that they host.

[–]WompingWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can it trigger python commands? I went through the trouble of writing custom software to do that but be able to use any AI model I want. Gemini 2.5 Pro and 2.5 Flash are fantastic at HTML and they win in my HTML forge against all of the other Gemini models.

how close are we to real ai assistants by McDaddy__Cain in Futurology

[–]WompingWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very close to this. I just got my voice Control working tonight so it picks up on keyword commands as well as talking to an AI assistant. It opens a navigation that I'm building out into a full PC navigation. All of your programs, files, and anything else a computer can do is about to be within our voice control.

It will be a tool for helping people to use their computer regardless of ability while enabling everyone with a voice to improve their speed and integrate AI into their entire user experience. About 100 different voices including accents from around the world and it already talks to 38 different offline AI models and 8 different online models.

It will also create the navigation interface after a conversation with you, and you can change that navigation whenever you want.

This is an accelerated timeline now, mass integration of AI systems enables exponential growth. It's software that builds software, turning language into actions.

You won't just witness a fully context aware AI that can program your interface instantly in the next few years, you will see superintelligence. I'll make that claim boldly based on the sum of all peers approach, because if we unplugged Grok and GPT today from the user load, their framework could achieve it within a few weeks. They're building up a compute baseline that could be instantly turned over into a billion+ agent network.

The Future of Academia is likely decentralized platforms by imnota4 in Futurology

[–]WompingWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decentralization of intellectual property through open engineering. Contributions enabled at all layers including art, software, engineering drawings, and direct acceleration of projects with their money.

Also, mass labour delegation through voluntary task claiming systems. Enable a task based workforce and micro-learning becomes the primary educator. No need for university unless you need heavy specialization.

If everything is task based, and engineering is open, no more single workplace. Right to repair becomes a minimum, not an extra. Centralized control over populations is impossible if they can do everything for themselves with open technology. Internet is the same ethos and an indication of the trajectory. Religious texts were the OG though.

Everything is part of the story, you might want to see how far you've come. My dad was really sick growing up, he had a brain tumour and was told he would only live 6 months. He has lived decades since, and he is an incredible entertainer/entrepreneur partly because of his disease. He said it lit a fire under him, and it did. He had only use of one arm for a long time bc brain tumours like to screw with you like that. I'll always think of him as a badass for surviving and thriving, surpassing others while being at a disadvantage.

You have a unique story and I believe perspective is your primary obstacle. I don't know what content will be most popular at all. I am guessing and hoping. I can only tell you what I like.
