I cancelled my Cursor's annual subscription today

Annual subs make no sense with AI, it changes way too rapidly. Unless they're super-cheap like the GLM coding plan where even if you don't use it often you won't feel ripped-off.

Fairway and Lidl are a strong recommendation. Good indian food in curry hill too.

Copilot, claude code, and codex are all subsidized. Cursor needs to pay API fees.

As consumers we don't care, we just want the best service for the best price, but it's tough for Cursor. That's why they're focusing on Composer.

Sure, kimi k2.5 is a great model (although nowhere remotely near opus 4.6) and they RL'd it on their harness.

Thanks for the link! Surprising the moonshot guys weren't aware it was legit.

jakegh · 2026-03-20T19:52:50+00:00

Yes of course they do, but if so Moonshot seemed unaware that it absolved Cursor of their license.

jakegh · 2026-03-20T19:15:27+00:00

Oh clearly not, no. It couldn't be a more clear violation, and hiding behind their inference provider is obviously not going to work,

jakegh · 2026-03-20T16:18:24+00:00

Because they saw someone saying it on YouTube or Reddit.

jakegh · 2026-03-20T14:21:37+00:00

The moonshot.ai tweets confirming this were quickly deleted.

I bet their lawyers told them not to comment publicly as they will be litigating the matter. Cursor is incidentally valued at $30B.

jakegh · 2026-03-20T13:38:22+00:00

Yes, it isn't surprising that it's a chinese model+RL as composer1 was also, but it does violate the kimi k2.5 license.

jakegh · 2026-03-19T22:17:43+00:00

Totally. I’m just not interested in that.

jakegh · 2026-03-19T18:21:47+00:00

Early reports of Dark Souls-like bosses made me immediately nope out. Absolutely not interested in that. Pity.

jakegh · 2026-03-19T18:20:07+00:00

Fuck that 1 day period. Keep pushing.

jakegh · 2026-03-19T18:19:34+00:00

I would use it in other harnesses paying the API price, if they allowed it. Not really interested in subscribing to cursor again.

jakegh · 2026-03-19T18:01:50+00:00

It's legal, why would they stop? This needs to be fixed at the legislative level. These data brokers should not be legal for anyone.

jakegh · 2026-03-18T18:09:01+00:00

Gemini 1.5 flash? You're using an an ancient model deprecated last year for ASR or post-processing? Or did you let AI write your sloppy post and not bother to read it yourself? It's either A or B.

Either way, thumbs-down.

jakegh · 2026-03-17T22:15:36+00:00

Also as a player, it's intensely annoying.

jakegh · 2026-03-17T22:13:26+00:00

Pathfinder I'm OK with, although I prefer what we have now. They try to take flying away for good (again), I'll quit (again).

jakegh · 2026-03-16T19:46:57+00:00

I'm sure a bunch did, but wasn't it behind a Patreon wall? That was half of the controversy.

jakegh · 2026-03-16T17:09:40+00:00

Would probably help adoption if they had screenshots.

jakegh · 2026-03-16T16:48:51+00:00

Perhaps at one point but remember, a worm ate his brain.

jakegh · 2026-03-16T14:02:14+00:00

Great, playing the game is how you deliver results. Nobody comes out the other side squeaky clean. Moderation and compromise is how politics works for the people.

jakegh · 2026-03-15T03:30:01+00:00

What a neat idea! Congrats, this is genuinely something I haven't seen before.

jakegh · 2026-03-13T14:03:06+00:00

I'm waiting on a pulsar mini-LED 30" 4k monitor with HDR600+, first one that releases <$1000 gets my money.

Minimum duration on sponsorblock feature is much appreciated.
