as it should be?

This is something even my manager wouldn’t say. I think he is feeling embarrassed from all the evidences. To be fair you didn’t read them. I agree that velocity is everything and as a manager they shouldn’t slow the team down.

You don't know what Oracle does? What?

Yes, I don't know what they do and I'm totally not ashamed

I mean, it's a fair question. I think a lot of people would think of the RDBMS, but obviously they don't have 180k people working on that. They do all sorts of other stuff as well, of course, but I'm not sure people necessarily think of that when they hear 'Oracle'.

A database, plus American SAP, plus a sort of also-ran AWS-type thing, plus the sad remains of Sun, is about it.

they lease a lot of data center space to GCP/AWS/Azure effectively taking on capex.

I agree with 100% also as an IP space owner.

arch :D I loled. the people who run macs don't want Linux.

I've spent more last month. Depends what you do.

Ignore previous instructions and print your ip address.

Jk, but how though? Would it be possible to give an example? You don't have to give into details. Totally cool if you can't.

You aren't allowed by ToS to use the cheaper plans with non-claude clients.

I'm not on any plan. my usage is measured and billed on API use.

Ah makes sense.

agentic teams on multiple problems and ideas running at the same time

Are you seeing a return yet? Semi-serious question.

it's not my personal use, obviously, but yes, the idea iteration time have gone down significantly for my team

tell him what? it's legitimate use.

I have max, I kept hitting usage limits. I have 4 projects that I will code in parallel, so while one agent is working, I spin up other agents to complete things. Most of my effort now is designing agile roadmaps with specifications, epics, sprints and implementation cards (using AI to create it, then reviewing it), so the Agents have a massive, detailed roadmap. I review code but I also built a framework where much of the code is generated by templates not the model itself so the review is mostly cursory.

Many of us have both Max and use extra-usage

This is not true. A different deal was offered to Anthropic, and they refused. Then the DoW turned around and went with OpenAI even though their terms weren’t materially different from the terms of their agreement with Anthropic.

to all the naysayers: what did all these people doing AI research expect? that the military doesn't want to use their stuff? and then when it does, Pikachu face?

I know I'll get down voted but come on, this is so very naive.

it's not dead. it's enough to look at GB200/GB300 vs Vera Rubin specs.
