It’s an interesting thing to bring up because it’s this classic thing we’ve seen for decades now.

The ramifications go beyond the individual which is why I assume they mentioned it. They don’t need to use it/not use it for it to have interesting implications.

		I didn’t say that and I don’t have a feeling on that either way. But this is a limited time trial and calling it out as such is valid. Is it nice we get the trial? Sure. Is it also a common play in the playbook of tech companies? Yes.

It's not a freebie, it still requires a subscription and burns tokens twice as fast as Opus.
