Anthropic just pulled the oldest trick in SaaS pricing.
I pay $200/mo for Claude Max. My limits have been noticeably worse this past week.
Now they announce 2x off-peak usage for two weeks. Sounds generous.
But here’s what actually happens: limits quietly drop, a temporary 2x makes the reduced limit feel normal, the promo ends, and you’re left at a baseline lower than where you started. You just didn’t notice the downgrade because the 2x absorbed the transition.
These AI plans are massively subsidized. The raw compute behind a heavy user costs multiples of the subscription price. Every move like this is the subsidy quietly correcting.
Very sneaky, Anthropic.
Favorite new fitness hack
Walk on the treadmill while doing online courses to learn skills my projects are blocked on
5.5 km/h at 6% incline worked pretty well. Managed to burn 500 calories over an hour without exerting my self to the point of losing focus

You'll have a ton of flexibility with whatever else you wanna do w your diet after that
The AI-jobs debate is mostly prediction theater
If the fear is overblown, working hard with AI still compounds
If the fear is real, working hard with AI is probably the best way to minimize getting pushed down
Either way, waiting is the worst trade
