Makes me think they're not using anthropic directly but rather any downstream provider. Pretty much everyone has broken caching for anthropic models, which can make requests a couple dozen times more expensive for long contexts.
I did manage to blow through about 1k in a day once doing this, so I can see how one might reach 6k with broken caching + heavy workloads.
For comparison: What cost me me $1k via openrouter would have cost me maybe the weekly allowance of a claude max x20 subscription with proper caching (so like $50 instead). Don't use credits on claude by the way. That's another ripoff (just get more subscriptions).
You really can screw this up and pay x20 what you could have.
Crazy to think that people in some places in the world work for $2 per day. Jailbraking fable is economically equivalent to the labor of a thousand people.
Indeed, it’s also crazy to think that some people vaporize tin pellets in order to etch nanometer scale drawings on silicon crystals while others make mud pies. I think that disparity is even bigger.
That's a bit of a miss, I don't throw away much. Restaurants and supermarkets OTOH... I understand the attempt to make me feel bad though, it would make me think I'm complicit, and shouldn't say things like that.
The default orientation of Americans toward government is already skepticism and distrust. The average person is questioning "why did you ever like the government in the first place?"
If you're referring to voters staying home, staying home is a vote for their state's majority. There's no sense in which the average citizen in a democracy is not responsible for the outcome of a democratic vote.
What do you think "voting age" means? The first sentence on the linked page is "The overall turnout of eligible voters in the 2024 general election was 63.7%"
This is categorically wrong, but even then - those that do not vote at all bear even more responsibility, and are traitors to democracy itself. By not participating in shaping it, you're dishonouring everyone that fought and died for your freedom.
If the feedback or involvement is substantive it used to be common to mention this, even if just in a prologue, epilogue, or footnote. You still see this is some academic writing and some journalism, where authors mention with whom they consulted. Books and other literature have tended to dissociate people from sources of knowledge, and the Internet furthered the dissociation. But honest writing should disclose all the sources of substantive claims, preferably traced back to primary sources. Legal writing and scientific papers are perhaps the last bastions where this is still done, or at least expected to be done, fairly rigorously, but the manner in which AI is used seems qualitatively more problematic for maintaining any kind of rigor in citation.
> If you train on TRPL code, the model weights and training data become "Functional Output" and must be shared. No black box models.
This doesn't work because AI companies don't accept licenses. Either the training is already infringing (in which case this doesn't matter much) or it's fair use/permitted by law (in which case this also doesn't matter much).
AI is rapidly becoming a synonym for enshittification. It can be a little aggravating. I am trying to judiciously use terms like "agent" or "LLM" so I can avoid just lazily saying "AI", which is often a pejorative term now.
