IDK if Anthropic wants to offer a service at below cost, I don't think they should gate keep which client you access that service over. Or in other terms, I won't use a service that locks me into a client I don't like.
- BoiledCabbage 9mo ago> IDK if Anthropic wants to offer a service at below cost, I don't think they should gate keep which client you access that service over. Are you going to say why you think they shouldn't? You didn't give a reason.
- firloop 9mo agoHow do you draw that conclusion? If Anthropic wants to offer a service at below cost, they seem a lot more justified in restricting how and where they subsidize usage.
- casparvitch 9mo agoYeah fair, I could've chosen better words. My conclusion is: "I don't want to pay for that", not "they shouldn't be able to do that".
- renewiltord 9mo agoThat seems mutual. They don’t want you to use this service with an arbitrary client and you don’t want to use this service that won’t allow an arbitrary client. So both of you don’t want the relationship. Seems fine. For my part, I’m fine understanding that bundling allows for discounting and I would prefer to enable that.
