GPT-5.6 sol is half the price and ~twice as token efficient as fable in many cases for accomplishing the same task.

happy to deliver at one-quarter of the price.

@mattshumer_ Thanks for sharing. No wonder even though I only used extra mode. After a small-to-medium mission, it used 7%.

THEY ARE SNEAKY.

时间线上全是在骂 Anthropic：只延长 Fable 5的周期，却不重置额度。好嘛，结果骂着骂着，它又悄悄把额度重置了。

下次做事能不能别这么拖泥带水？既然决定延长，直接把额度一起重置不就完了？多简单事，非得先挨一顿骂。

这两天给孩子放《闹闹别闹》，里面讲到一种叫"跳水泡菜"的东西，又叫"洗澡泡菜"。故事随后感叹："你看我们中国人多有智慧，给菜起名字都这么有创意。"

听到这句话，我很不舒服。至少在我的见识里，似乎只有中文语境特别习惯把这种小事也上升为"我们中国人"的集体智慧。这样的自夸早已融入日常语言，也渗进了我们根深蒂固的思维方式。

它表面上只是一句随口的夸赞，背后却是一种狭隘的身份优越感：从小反复强调"我们"有多特殊、多聪明、多优越，民粹主义的种子，也就埋在了这些看似无害的话里。

看着 X 上那些动不动就被 Anthropic 封号的推友，挺感慨的。

我在国内时，也天天琢磨怎样才能不被封。VPN 只要切错一个地区，账号就可能出问题。有一次为了看 P 站，切到了自己喜欢的地区，看完却忘了切回美国，吓得一身冷汗。结果。。。F**k my fat a**，没多久账号果然被封了😂。

想起这段经历，有点唏嘘。好在终于搬到了一个可以正常使用 Anthropic的地方。

我对吃饭一直没什么执念。

在西安时，中午常常是一碗胡辣汤配一个葱油饼，蛋白质靠蛋白粉补；晚上吃点西兰花、青椒和苹果，偶尔一碗面也就够了。

到了澳洲，吃得反而更简单：sushi、Subway，或者烤两片面包，再东一口西一口地补点��的。只要营养大致够，口感和形式对我来说都不重要。

我一直很想理解一种选择：

有些受过高等教育的家长，曾带孩子在发达国家长期生活和求学，亲身体验过相对宽松的教育环境、更好的空气质量和食品安全，却最终仍因身份、工作、经济或家庭等现实因素回国，让孩子重新进入竞争激烈的基础教育体系。

每个家庭都有自己的难处。但正因为他们亲眼见过孩子可以在另一种环境里成长，我才更好奇：究竟是什么原因，让他们最终仍选择把孩子带回一个教育竞争激烈，且空气质量、食品安全等生活条件也未必更有利于儿童成长的环境？

@blackanger 鲜他个大逼斗呢，额度都没了，他延长有个屌毛用？

[LeoN @Yang1Leo]

@rezoundous Hell yes. Especially the second-tier AI companies like Google or Cursor.

[LeoN @Yang1Leo]

@TheRabbitHole @elonmusk Neither. I come to Australia to escape socialism.

[LeoN @Yang1Leo]

@DaveShapi It's censored as fuck. I can only use it to change my UI. Other than that, there's a 50% chance it's censored.

[LeoN @Yang1Leo]

@sehui2534690907 @dotey 他要是重置了，我就把傻逼的逼用星号代替了。

[LeoN @Yang1Leo]

之前说 Anthropic 公司是不是就想看看 ChatGPT 5.6 Sol ���底强不强？如果强的话，还真有可能留在订阅里。

他这不又延长了一周。等到下周，有没有可能“算力足够”了，就永久地待在订阅里了？

[LeoN @Yang1Leo]

连着跑了好几天Fable 5，说实话不管是max还是extra档，基本没一次能过的。小bug一堆，进去就是填坑。最后十有八九被Codex的xhigh复核挑出毛病来，靠模型单干真不行，复核还是能兜一兜。

“bro so busy trying to not die he forgot how to live”

I’m told hundreds of times a day that I need to live a little. That I’m so busy trying to not die that I’ve forgotten to live.

The psychology powering this sentiment is the most interesting phenomenon happening on earth right now.

Every individual constructs a persona, a character to present to the world. It’s a compromise between what they are and what society demands of them. In current culture, its characteristics are the appearance of living fully, productivity, busyness, enjoying life, pleasure, spontaneity, and being unafraid.

It’s carefully constructed to shield the wearer from the terror of their inevitable death. To make this irreconcilable pain invisible to themselves, they dissolve themselves into the group and enact its rituals.

Sleep under your desk, have a drink, pull the vape, grab a fast food meal, gamble a little, stay up late to watch your favorite show, splurge some, chill out…live a little.

They are living.

At the cellular level, metabolic debt accumulates and repair mechanisms are traded for short term dopamine spikes.

But it’s done together, so it’s normal, and even desirable. No one will die alone if everyone is dying together and all agree to call it living.

The group moves in unison, comforted by the rhythmic movement. When someone declines to participate in their shared rituals, they experience it as an insult and a threat that must be attacked, discredited and mocked.

Subconsciously, they know their rituals are performative and masking something that must be suppressed. But it’s been buried so deep that it’s only a faint whisper, easily silenced by a swipe at the offender.

But then the whisper becomes a quiet voice and asks if they’re afraid. They attack the mirror because they cannot bear the reflection.

In pre-modern societies, death rituals were explicit and honest. They held a funeral, kept a mourning period, washed the body, prayed for the dead and observed burial customs. They faced death and created community rituals to metabolize the grief, fear and loss.

We no longer have death rituals. As explicit customs eroded, consumer culture monetized the void, driving our existential anxieties underground. Thanksgiving debauchery, New Year drunkenness, Halloween indulgence, the wedding open bar, the treat, splurge and cheat day. They are commercialized, camouflaged celebrations staged as group rituals to dull the shared death anxiety.

We previously faced the fear and now we gluttonize on it. Group rituals that name and face death can metabolize it. Rituals that hide from it accumulate the debt and are owned by their creditors.

When I abstain from societal death rituals, I break the spell. The anesthesia only works if everyone does it together. One abstainer reveals to the room that they are drunk.

This is the source of the anger. It’s not my decisions. It’s their reflection in the mirror.

Predictably, the collective seeks to pathologize my non-conformity. They will claim that systematic discipline is just another defense mechanism; a frantic obsession with control to escape the same existential dread. They will argue that preserving the biological vessel is a sterile exercise, a perpetual preparation for a game I refuse to play.

They misunderstand the objective.

Control is maintaining the status quo. I seek an evolutionary jailbreak. Natural selection stops maintaining us once reproduction is done. Accepting that automated slide into decrepitude isn't ‘living’, it’s passive submission to a blind algorithmic process.

I am not opposed to pleasure. I am opposed to the counterfeit. I say no to the dying ritual so that I can say yes to the full offering of consciousness: a vibrant physiological state, cognitive clarity, and deep emotional coloring. Vitality is mastery, not abuse dressed up as freedom.

The reward is a clearer lens, the ability to see what is currently invisible. High resolution consciousness allows for depths of thought, creativity, and experiential variance that are far harder to reach when the brain and body are chronically inflamed, degraded, and sedated. I want to expand the boundaries of the human experience.

On offer in this new future are things that no human has ever tasted before. I’m not deprived by the lack of participating in the rituals, I’m pointing to a joy that the human mind has not yet imagined.

I don’t intend to live a little. I intend to live more than any human who has yet lived and invite you to join me.

@kimmonismus higher possibility for Anthropic not to exclude Fable 5 in subscriptions
