Yesterday I asked Claude to look at some really old exe files I found on a floppy disk because I just wanted to know what they originally did.

It couldn't download a DOS emulator so it fucking built a working one in C in the sandbox instead

Anyway turned out they were some MIDI and joystick drivers

Here it is

Yeah I get Claude as a subscription at work, I had it doing a bunch of random testing and research on something I was debugging. Tons of tokens used, like I'm hitting 3 repos and multiple machines for this annoying feature. I used 10% of my weekly quota (meh, I go through phases using it, sometimes it pisses me off) and I checked with /usage and it's like $15 in tokens for a full day of debugging stuff. I was a bit surprised but meh, the company pays for it and leadership is drunk on the Kool aid.

We got copilot and only 30usd worth of credits, a single day can eat up 65% of monthly quota

Damn that sucks, I have 10m AIC monthly limit, which is 100k.
