Today, sure. But we already see diminishing returns with Claude releases, and we know the open models are closing the gap (~6 months behind according to the benchmarks). And when the pitch is "our models are 5% better but cost $200&#x2

The future is already pretty much here. Note the recent stories about Chrome adding a local model, not to mention the Googlebook demo (if it works as advertised, there's a 0% chance you could get that kind of latency with a non-local m

They will still need to increase costs for enterprise to be profitable, they're just going to be more greasy about it. Claude 5 will cost 20% more but not be 20% better, more shenanigans with "oh no we had a bug in our cache syste

Moviepass (afaik) was an attempt at the exact same playbook, it just failed. Anthropic will also fail when the competition is.. near-equivalent-capability DeepSeek/Qwen/Llama on a $1k GPU with a break-even of 5 months of subscript

It's okay, at this rate Anthropic will be the only ones left using Bun. This is the Extinguish phase of the process, right?

Given how terrible their in-house support bot is, I don't think they've figured out jack shit. If you truly had a half-decent LLM, you'd think the first place you'd put it to demonstrate the capabilities is handling supp

It really is the doordash/uber playbook all over again eh? Sell at a massive loss, gain userbase, then gradually boil the frog by adding fees, removing features, and increasing prices. Except instead of doing this a few years down the

Well, in an ideal scenario, you would have exported anything you wanted to keep, and you'd import it if you subscribe again. How long would you expect them to keep your data for? Do you really expect them to pay storage costs for your

I guess it's not a termination, but a downgrade to the "free" tier. But that still makes sense, given Claude Design is limited "to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans". He's not on that plan anymore so.. what

So.. you unsubscribed from a SaaS and expected them not to purge your data? Why would that make sense? Anthropic may be a bunch of skids but it sounds like they did the right thing here. Pretty much all SaaS applications, especially in B2B,

Note Clickhouse is quite old (2010ish?) but they've always been a "web server access log analytics" solution. The pivot to "we do observability too" is new, we'll see how that plays out. Not terribly optimistic

FWIW we've also tried all sorts of different things, and honestly the very vanilla (prometheus -> central thanos, fluentbit -> central loki, grafana) ends up on top. The resource consumption is surprisingly minimal (for a sense o

Azure is a compliance requirement for us. Haven't had anything impacting in GovCloud, but if you're not there yet I'm sure there's shenanigans in the consumer version.

That's one of the things I like about Azure, they don't overwhelm you with listing prices beside every individual item as you're creating it, but they seem to always present a price on things that could be expensive. It&#x2

It's AI but not in the way you think. AI usage is getting expensive since Anthropic et al are turning the screws, and that money has to come from somewhere. Reducing AI usage is blasphemy of course, so cutting headcount is the only pat

Agreed it's a weird comparison, but I'd argue SG&A needs to come out of gross margin too for a fair comparison. You need a warehouse/staff/utilities/etc to sell merchandise, you need nothing to sell a membership

Wait for the EU AI Act to require text watermarking in August. It will work, and it will be effective -- not because it'll be impossible to circumvent, but because all the big SaaSes will have to adopt it, and the hurdle of stripping i

It sure has limitations, but "no protective benefits" is pretty wrong. In a real world example, if your containerized application has an RCE, you're preventing the attacker from executing binaries they tampered with or down&#

Look at the FedRAMP requirements around integrity protection, then look at how massive the list of complaint products is. I promise, pretty much everyone in regulated environments is. It's so prevelant Azure is even pushing a turnkey s

Remember when GPT-2 was "too dangerous to release"? I'll believe it when I see it, but it's almost certainly just marketing drivel.

by parliament32 5mo ago
It's curious they're just "monitoring" rather than preventing. In a serious environment you'd run IPE with dm-verity/fs-verity to ensure binaries are whitelisted and integrity-checked at every execution.

Everyone cranks out endless pages of slop, that everyone else then has to ingest. Anthropic collects a fee from all of you and is the only winner here. I'm looking forward to the impending crash when the AI providers actually start cha
