Perhaps, but at least I'm not being charged for each attempt at doing work besides my time in the attempt. Copilot would bug out and that cost me usage credits. Borderline stealing from its users paying for limited credits per month.

It's too bad their models are also all garbage, or I'd be on that Google AI train. They're desperately trying to stay relevant in a space they should be owning in the first place. You plant shit seeds, you get shit weeds. Even if the models were good, their track record shows it's not worth the time investment adopting their stack because chances are it ends up in the infamous graveyard within 3-5 years.
Yup, same. x57 for GPT 5.5 now?! The GitHub agent architecture was hot as hell and allowed me to work on projects without ever bootstrapping it locally, but there is no way I'm gonna get sucked into spending hundreds a month. It felt good seeing that $250 refund come through for my yearly plan. I'll take those funds to Claude or Codex directly. Throttled usage is way better than being fucked over by a glorified reseller.
That K shaped economy in action
You'll get down voted to eternity for speaking truth like that friend. Be cautious, a lot of these kids just don't want to hear it.
And yeah, Google is trying so hard but failing miserably. I'm excited to try Opus 4.8 with my work account 🙈
"We already have horses, we don't need cars" .... this is how THEY sound.
The midterms are coming, and I hope to God my fellow citizens use it to send a message that a reckoning is coming in the primary too. But I suspect the spineless Trump supports will start thinking a 3rd term is justified given how the previous election was 'stolen' from him and they'll accept whatever twisted logic Republicans use to erase that bit from the Constitution. Or hell, at this point they'll keep it in there and just ignore it because they don't give a damn anyway.
We're trying folks. Bare with us as we trudge through this hellish time in American politics.
Humans are so badass
My modded Cingular 8525 wasn't too bad 🤷♂️

I've been keeping my phone on silent for years and only allowing specific favorite contacts through. It's been absolutely liberating. No notifications demanding my attention. I'll interact with my phone on MY terms.
