@fcoury Help Felipe, mine has not recovered.

@thsottiaux My usage reset yesterday, but today it reverted back to to the pre-reset level... help

@thsottiaux @steipete I was starting to doubt, but you came through 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

@sama Seems I got psyoped by Twitter, too!

The issue isn’t entitlement, it’s structural. When the majority of value creation happens pre-IPO and the public market becomes where insiders exit, you’ve built a system where capital compounds only for those who already have it. That’s not capitalism, it’s aristocracy with extra steps.

@GwartyGwart Capitalism requires broad participation in ownership to sustain demand. If the people being displaced can’t share in what displaces them, you don’t get innovation, you get revolution, regulation, or both.

@rauchg Immortality is existential, and impersonal. All those things you’ve named are impermanent. On a human level it’s a beautiful aspiration, but not to be mistaken with immortality.

@kylegawley I agree, some companies may built certain apps internally, but the broad majority will be SAAS. The big shift, will be pricing. As AI lowers the moat for competitors, the margins on SAAS will compress. The 50/m app will cost much less, as existing companies fight shrinking margin

@MoonOverlord Gonna age like milk. When ETH hit smania, long tail of profits will flow into NFTs, it’s not time yet. Patience.

@PratikKala People build in Manhattan, not Disney World: open streets, property rights, rule of law. Public chains are Manhattan—neutral, low platform risk, composable, can make commitments, and let users own. That’s why builders invest. Amusement parks and private databases don’t offer that

@blknoiz06 @SmokeyHosoda Why the SOL psyop was so strong. Many of them were Bitcoin Maxi’s that didn’t want the relative value of their bags dropping to ETH. They want beta, and to eat their cake too. SOL maxi’s community have a lot of Bitcoin Maxi’s in trench coats

@PratikKala You’re drawing parallels to Linux and OSX, when you should be drawing parallels to the intranet and the internet.

@lmt2683 @RenaudCloud @sama No, it’s not. It was, but the competitors have caught up.

@samknight @sama @techikansh Not for me. Grok Super Heavy is better than Pro for difficult question. Claude is better for Code. Gemini is on par for Deep Research. Unlimited thinking queries was the differentiator for me. I see no purpose paying 200$ for the current offering. OoenAI is no longer SOTA.

[baba @_daBaba]

@james_j_otis @sama @techikansh Google’s researcher is just as good, and 180$ less. The main value proposition for pro was the unlimited thinking queries, if plus users get that for 20$ per month, I’m better off paying for Plus, and Gemini Plus, and Claude Agent. OpenAI is no longer SOTA in any area.

[baba @_daBaba]

@ahtoshkaa @sama @techikansh High effort is useful for most tasks, test time compute is not useful for most tasks because of the latency. What was worth the money, was the unlimited thinking. If plus users get 400 queries per day, that’s basically unlimited. I’ve already cancelled.
