I’ve been keeping my phone on silent for years and only allowing specific favorite contacts through. It’s been absolutely liberating. No notifications demanding my attention. I’ll interact with my phone on MY terms.

Perhaps, but at least I’m not being charged for each attempt at doing work besides my time in the attempt. Copilot would bug out and that cost me usage credits. Borderline stealing from its users paying for limited credits per month.

It’s too bad their models are also all garbage, or I’d be on that Google AI train. They’re desperately trying to stay relevant in a space they should be owning in the first place. You plant shit seeds, you get shit weeds. Even if the models were good, their track record shows it’s not worth the time investment adopting their stack because chances are it ends up in the infamous graveyard within 3-5 years.

Yup, same. x57 for GPT 5.5 now?! The GitHub agent architecture was hot as hell and allowed me to work on projects without ever bootstrapping it locally, but there is no way I’m gonna get sucked into spending hundreds a month. It felt good seeing that $250 refund come through for my yearly plan. I’ll take those funds to Claude or Codex directly. Throttled usage is way better than being fucked over by a glorified reseller.

You’ll get down voted to eternity for speaking truth like that friend. Be cautious, a lot of these kids just don’t want to hear it.

And yeah, Google is trying so hard but failing miserably. I’m excited to try Opus 4.8 with my work account 🙈

“We already have horses, we don’t need cars” … this is how THEY sound.

Humans are so badass

No doubt the two aren’t always connected, but in the US at least, 8gb isnt exactly breaking the average American household’s bank. And if it is, yeah I’d argue they’re doing something wrong in their decisions. One could mow a few lawns and have enough cash to keep up with the modern requirements of an OS.

If you’re strugging to afford an 8GB RAM chip, you may want to reconsider some of your life choices. Even with current market prices.

And they’ll keep being wrong. But that’s ok, flat earthers still exist too.

You’re absolutely right, and the vast majority of people on this platform seem to get offended by anything AI related. Software engineers have been reviewing code made by other people since the dawn of the craft. Guess what y’all, AI generated code looks exactly the same, if not better on the first pass at creating a thing.

Down vote me all you want homies. You’re living in a fantasy if you think all AI is slop. Sure, I can see how it’s ruining some content on the Internet, but for code related tasks, its going to dramatically change the world for the better.
