The issue making Claude just not do any work was infuriating to say the least. I already ran at medium thinking level so was never impacted, but having to constantly go "okay now do X like you said" was annoying.
Again goes back to the "intern" analogy people like to make.
Every resume I get now is a 90%+ match and then you interview them and it's clear they don't know anything claimed on the resume.
Do not use these, I can smell AI resumes from a million miles away and instantly discard them.
Best advice I have for people is hand write your resume in a visibly clean layout, and tailor it to the job. Do not use bots either because they make dumb mistakes like leaving markdown in, or submitting 15 seconds after the posting comes online.
I am 90% sure it's looking at month long usage trends now and punishing people who utilize 80%+ week over week. It's the only way to explain how some people burn through their limit in an hour and others who still use it a lot get through their hourly limits fine.
It's hard to say. Admittedly I'm a heavy user as I intentionally cap out my 5x plan every week - I've personally found that I get more usage being on older versions of CC and being very vigilant on context management. But nobody can say for sure, we know they have A/B test capabilities from the CC leaks so it's just a matter of turning on a flag for a heavy user.
I agree with everything you say; my "police departments are understaffed" is too generic, and might be better stated as "too few resources are devoted to traditional beat policing." Which isn't to say that the other things are unnecessary or pointless, but it's a different set of skills.
Would love to see a show down of performance on iPhone vs Googles Tensor G5, which in my experience the G5 is 2 full generations behind performance wise.
I could totally see it, recently there has been a social club opened near me and it has 100+ people attending weekly. All younger, 20-30 year olds in their early career.
Separately, I have a local camera repair shop and my friend told me its 2 months backlog to get your film based camera worked on.
Ultimately if the deal we get online is infinite tracking, infinite scrolling and infinite enshittification, real life start to sound a whole lot better.
Going to the local movie rental shop with my kids is the highlight of my week. What a bizarre sentence to write in 2026 but it’s absolutely 1000% better than modern streaming (outside of my Plex setup).
I gladly pay the (modest/token) late fees to help keep them open at this point. If someone set up a local arcade man…I’d be in heaven ha
> I gladly pay the (modest/token) late fees to help keep them open at this point
Keeping movies longer and paying late fees may be hurting them more than helping them. It's entirely possible that the late fees are underpriced to avoid scaring away customers. New customers going away disappointed they movie they want wasn't returned on time hurts them more than your late fees help.
Not keeping them on purpose, I’m just not sweating the fee because I’m happy to pay them.
Additionally, the odds that my kids are holding on to exactly what somebody else wants in that timeframe is very small. It’s a small shop within a larger co-op situation with a modest following and pretty substantial stock. I know for instance we’ve never had an issue of wanting something that was rented.
Has it happened? Maybe. But the fees I’ve paid probably net positive against that rare instance. They aren’t open half the week so I can’t return them once Monday passes for several days anyway. Owner certainly hasn’t expressed concern and has even waived the fee before because clearly it’s of little consequence.
Then throw in the people using $10k in their token burning "gastown" and bragging on Twitter...
I haven't really hit real usage limits in the past 2 weeks, and part of me wonders if its a loud minority who all abused Claude Code, and now Anthropic has just permanently gimped their accounts.
Something like if you are in the top 5% of users, they are now giving you limits to bring you down to the average user.
I think this is clearly it, also a lot of people using Openclaw have realized that no one agrees with them that they deserve to use the sub pricing for their third-party service and have to use the API, so they post a bunch of vindictive stuff about Anthropic to "get back" at them. This exact same thing happened with Gemini, when they started lying about Google personal accounts getting banned to attempt to spite them.
How many are we up to now? Has to be hundreds of them.
