are you okay with paying more for your services without any perceived improvement in the service itself?

Gamblers (vibe-coders) at Anthropic's casino realising that their new slot machine upgrade (Claude Opus) is now taking 20%-30% more credits for every push of the spin button.

Problem is, it advertises how good it is (unverified benchmarks) and has a better random number generator but it still can be rigged (made dumber) by the vendor (Anthropic).

The house (Anthropic) always wins.

Using local models are the answer to this if you want to use AI models free forever.
