I tried to be chill, but Acemoglu’s false statement reminded me too much of the gaslighting I had to deal with to publish my comment

Acemoglu et al don’t respond directly to criticisms, and often make up demonstrably false claims to defend themselves, with no accountability

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@Noahpinion They might not be wrong. His words on you must still be hurting so much that you mined out a paper from June to kick back.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@bcherny @scaling01 You are funny.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@Noahpinion Anyway, whatever the academia thinks about him, Acemoglu washed your mouth out beautifully. Better said, put you on the right shelf.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@aiedge_ Would it be 200 USD instead of 300 I had already subscribed

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@thsottiaux You should just intelligently disappear from here until you have anything honest to say about exploiting your USD 200 subscribers if there will be any by that time.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@ClaudeDevs How about developing useful models, instead?

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@fahnx8 @TJeparskis No problem with that, I want them to say this out loud, and I am happy to say goodbye.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@thsottiaux Anyway, I will give Supergrok Heavy a try and might say goodbye soon. Opus 5 is a joke as well, unfortunately, @AnthropicAI .

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@thsottiaux This is an easy way to divert the question to an entirely new track. I am not saying it is not a wise diversion. Alas, from a top-of-the-world tech giant, you cannot hide behind diversion. Transparency, please: is the complaint of the subscribers legit or not? If not, explain.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@thsottiaux Please make our token use transparent in real time instead.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

Anyway, these silly timing whispers to publish something new are more than annoying. Are you aware of the time zones around the world? What day? Here it is 9:22 in the morning, compared to 0:23 on the US West Coast this morning. I love Codex, but without clarification on token use, this will not be an eternal love. Yes, we learnt from you that a Codex token is worth 100 times more than a 200 USD chip at Caesar’s Palace.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

Funny. I will try it once my usage quota resets again. I am getting back the feelings I lost for Claude and will give Grok a try because I cannot afford Codex at 200 USD for 2 days of weekly usage, even if I want to work 5 days a week. I am not even a dev guy, only an econ researcher.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@thsottiaux I have a long workflow for scientific reserach that found a serious coding issue and a lack of a robustness check. It was perfect, but now I have to wait until 20 August for my next round of tokens. Do not misunderstand me, I do not ask for a reset, however....

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@Fedesco5 @sdmat123 Surprisingly, Claude is better with pptx. Genspark might be your salvage.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@thsottiaux Has the reset happened? I might have missed something. I cannot see my usage recovered. :(

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@thsottiaux Sol with Luna subagents, please

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@FelipeFr1702 It started to speak in its gibberish lingo.

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@ClaudeDevs How many more tokens will eat it up? Aren't we punished enough with Opus 5?

[Laszlo Erdey @erdeyl]

@claudeai Claude became a highly overpriced piece of crap. Opus 5 is the a total disappointment.
