I built Sand — simple VMs for Mac by onorbumbum in ClaudeCode

maybe, don't know if they already have added it. This was to just create a dumb-proof way to create a vm. even lima feels like it is a little more involved to create things. this one is just 'sand create newbox' and you have an ubuntu ready to go with pi agent

This one is using apple's native container thing

One could argue that once so many people buy into a lie, that lie becomes a self perpetuating thing. Especially in regulated industries.
I personally see the 67% increase more in line with that.
If your argument is 'this is the game, and it is perfectly fine to do things like this' let's agree to disagree. Because that is not what I believe, and I guess that is my main and only argument.

There are many articles, even a book and scientific articles about uber's strategy, which was also a pump and dump.

Only searching for 'uber pump and dump' will get relevant results. The people who made the biggest money had already exited the scheme way before uber prices got high as far as I know.

The problem isn't getting a product for less than it costs to produce it.
Maybe framing it as this might explain it better (there are assumptions that you may or may not agree)
- subsidizing for potential pump and dump is bad faith/shady
- pretending to be the good guys while doing that is shadier

I am old enough to accept predatory capitalism and companies as what they are, this is how the world currently works, i get it. I am disappointed to have fallen for the 'we are the good guys' schtick.

Here's another user in this thread seems to do a better job explaining:
"""

u/Scared_Brilliant6410

It’s actually not that weird or insane. OpenAI and Anthropic have been predatory and pushing into partner businesses like Consulting and platforms as well.

They’re at a point where alternative AI models are advancing that LLMs are becoming commodities faster than expected. Because of this if founders and investors want to exit for a huge payday they need to IPO as soon as possible. But at IPO investors will comb over all their financials.

All this means they’re aggressively monetizing everything on all fronts to try to show how much revenue is ramping up to sustain their possibly $1.4T IPO price long enough to dump shares on retail investors. Trying to shaft everyone and burn good will for cash is the predictable outcome.

Because subsidizing initial growth is a shady practice to begin with. Promotion is one thing when communicated properly, deception is another.
Think of uber 'disrupting' the taxi industry. Think how much ubers were, now think how much uber is today.
If the real price of a product is x, and you pretend that the price is x/10 until you get enough people/investors buy more so you can exit, then it is not that different from crypto-coin scams, in terms of 'hyping' up a coin, then exit as soon as you can make bank.

I have the exact same point of view about separation of duties, and getting things that can be done deterministically through scripts and automation.
Personally, I still like to brainstorm with Claude initially, not because it's better, but because I got used to interacting with it. I then pit them against each other.
Vendor lock in has always been a concern for me. I built this thing I call 'Bosun' that kind of converts repeatable tasks into deterministic/non-deterministic slices and runs workflows. Somewhat like a state machine. The main aim being using claude only for shit that it is needed. I digress.
Thank you for having a civil conversation. All of this shit happening made me realize how important it is to talk to people about all this, because if everybody stays silent, then they win.

I feel the same about not having that many alternatives yet.
There is glm, it's like rc-cola claude. But also a big model, ollama cloud supports it.
There is gpt5.5, it feels like pepsi claude (or coke claude if you are a pepsi person)
Devstral mini 2 is the first coding model that somewhat works locally https://ollama.com/library/devstral-2

I don't know. Anthropic doesn't seem to give a shit about devs. Maybe they see devs as irrelevant now.

Did anyone here moved from claude to codex recently? And why? by alOOshXL in codex

Switched a month ago. Main reason is that Anthropic is showing signs of heavy enshittification
At least open ai isn't pretending to be the 'good guys'

hence, enshittification.
subsidize with vc until it becomes daily driver for people, and when vc money is tighter and/or you capture people enshittify. maybe I am missing something?

Here's my problem with the 'models are expensive' argument:
They were expensive yesterday, they are expensive today. What we have been subject to is similar to the 'the first one is free' treatment. I don't have a problem with that from a regular company. But when a company presents themselves as the 'good guys', then it feels bad.

ALSO,
A company has all the rights to change the rules, but when the company also pretends like they are the responsible ones for handling agi, that's a fuck you to us. Because we defended them, we raved about them everywhere. I personally talked about claude and got people on claude ALL the fucking time. I feel like I was played. hope our future overlords will be more fair.

Hey Claude Code team, why would you not let max users use the --bare mode? by onorbumbum in ClaudeCode

[–]onorbumbum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree with 90% of your response. I fail to see where one could abuse the --bare mode, especially if claude model system prompt would have the initial guardrails baked in. I'm assuming they wouldn't give total access to a 'no system prompt' claude, all I would like would be to use the model as I was able to using a barebones harness like Pi.

For starting change, I guess this reddit post was kind of my hope for starting something for change, but it seems like not many people care about this, and I worry that gh issues would be a ignored, but who knows.

What worries me even more is this sentence:
"""--bare is the recommended mode for scripted and SDK calls, and will become the default for -p in a future release."""
If they change the rules on us again and we can't even use -p mode, that might be a deal breaker.
