Infinite monkeys with typewriter theory, you’re onto something. Keep grinding (and paying for Claude, better multiple $200 subscriptions), king. I’m sure the success is around the corner, surely casino loses this time.

The bar is on the floor. Not that I can objectively prove it, but it is my strong belief software quality has gotten worse since LLMs started being mandated in enterprises, eg. Windows has began shipping critical issues in updates more often. The vibe motherships themselves certainly don't inspire confidence. ChatGPT for Desktop (which is simply the chat interface in an electron window) doesn't have tabs and yet in an hour of chatting was at the point where it was consuming 2.5gb of memory. In a single tab, remember, because providing tabs is an impossible feat that no human or robot could possibly think to provide -- who would possibly want to ask questions about two different subjects, anyways?

So if the benefits haven’t accrued to you, it must have gone to your customers right?

And what exactly would’ve changed three years ago compared to now?

Typically i use more than the 10x plan, i maybe use around 50% of normal, interactive usage.

Though because i have a sub i then try to work extra and /loop some to make use of my money. I use a simple home grown (all claude built lol) skill combo which i manage a TODO file, and then have claude read that and commit changes, and run a /loop against that.

Ideally i end the week with ~90% usage.

I think you may have misinterpreted what I was saying to be a reference to local models? I am not talking about local. You cannot run DeepSeek on consumer hardware, despite a bunch of people conflating "some 30b model trained on DeepSeek outputs == DeepSeek". But businesses can purchase fleets of GPUs capable of serving DeepSeek for an investment measured in millions rather than billions, and offer something 85% as good as Claude to customers while actually profiting on inference with a $20 subscription, without the massive overhead of training frontier models from scratch.

That they are giving away something they cannot sustain is the literal entire point of my comment.

What’s that even supposed to mean?
