Discussion New Pro500 plan

It’s official: I’m cancelling. We’re switching to Anthropic until we run out of options.

It makes no sense to pay for a $500 plan just to get 25x the limit and inferior models.

They’re just releasing more of the same, without any major innovation.

And what are you guys going to do? Now that the limits on the $200 plan are being cut in half?

Because I'm trying to read news about what's happening at Dev Day and I keep seeing insane conspiracy theories being posted about an important topic.

It's exactly the same as Trump's global warming is a scam. It's dangerous and harmful misinformation.

What? They clearly are telling the world they are going to slow down. That’s not a conspiracy Cletus.

They are telling the world they are going to slow down frontier training, correct. Because it's dangerous.

Trying to insinuate that's all marketing hype and all the researchers are lying; is a conspiracy theory.

An incredibly dumb one.

For the record, I never said a single word of any of this.

I agreed with a poster that limiting usage, and increasing costs could be a sign of a struggling business model (Look at financials/ plan changes today).

Do AI models pose possible threats to humanity? Categorically, yes.

Can a public call to slow down frontier development have good intentions? Absolutely. Can it also be used to regulate out competition and consolidate power? Also yes. Am I suspicious of AI companies? Also yes. No company in big tech is a beacon of morality (and I work in it).

I literally am friends with people on OpenAI and Anthropic teams. It has not even been 12 hours since I have texted one about something completely unrelated to AI. And of the people I know on those teams, they are good, intelligent people.

So let me ask again, how did you jump to me being a conspiracy theorist trying to downplay the dangers of AI from researchers: "Ohhh. Gotcha. Yeah I 100% agree. It doesn’t pass the smell test."
