I pay $100/mo to Anthropic. Yesterday I coded one small feature via an API key by accident and it cost $6. At this rate, it will cost me $1000/mo to develop with Opus. I might as well code by hand, or switch to the $20 Codex plan, which will probably be more than enough.

I'd rather switch to OpenAI than give up my favorite harness.

This is the intention. They do not want folks that can’t pay to use their service.

The trouble with openai is that by using them, you're supporting fascism.

		Yes, you are doing it too with antropic an xAI. I don't get your point. xAI and OpenAI are a little worst? Maybe, still very well fascism.

Out of curiosity, what's your next monthly subscription in terms of price?

Electricity, $95/mo.

Now you got me thinking my electric company should start offering subscription tiers in these uncertain energy times...

		Ours never will, they're a cartel, sadly. If you mean fixed subscription, next one is Netflix, I think, or my server provider at $40 or so.

Yeah I had a similar experience one time. Which is why I laugh when people suggest Anthropic is profitable. Sure, maybe if everyone does API pricing. Which they won’t because it’s so damn expensive. Another way to think about it is API pricing is a glimpse into the future when everyone is dependent on these services and the subscription model price increases start.

		I don't get why people talk about ChatGPT as some great saviour though, they're in the same boat but just have more money to burn.
