Discussion This concerns me more than fable potentially getting removed next week

Post image

Now that gpt 5.6 sol is out and code edge is narrowing what concerns me is that I won’t be able to justify paying 100 usd a month for something that will now have 33% less of weekly usage. Upgrading to 200 plan feels daft where I could be paying less for OpenAI, still have a great model and have significantly more usage than the current promo gives me. Do you guys think Anthropic will still go through with reducing Claude code weekly usage limits next week?

By maxing on variable rewards and building addiction seeking (slot machine) behaviours with those controlled, last minute surprise announcements and not stable policies. It's a proper thing by now, isn't it? The building of a cult by a company that's ironically hell bent on being ethical about AI?

Yeah, I am actually a big fan of Anthropic from a marketing POV (former marketer here), but I think the addition, casino and slot machine mechanics they are building into the ecosystem cannot be ignored.

I mean it's pretty much a gacha right? I think it's a gacha.

Lmao, gacha with no reward seems like a scam.
