I love how corpos can just change the rules at will.

Edit: New prices:

And if you look at the old pricing structure, some of the models are increasing by 27x

I literally just signed up for the $10/month plan... Guess ill just run my own git server.

What does having a git server have to do with copilot subscriptions?

The almost endless opus usage couldn't last to be fair. I assume those costs are closer to the real cost to provide the service, ouch!

Not even close. Most AI companies are making something like 95% loss according to an article here a bit ago. So if you're an AI provider, you need to multiply prices by 25 before you even begin to eat into your insane levels of debt.

On the potentially bright side maybe this will make people think harder about which model to use for which task. You don't need to feed your entire code base into Opus when a Gemini Flash sub-agent can do a perfectly fine job running grep and compiling a summary for the main agent.

Mostly hallucinate and tell you you’re absolutely right

It will suggest code completions while programming, can ask answer questions about code, and can edit and run code if asked.

So should I just switch to Claude max plan now?

[–] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You should just cancel. Seriously.

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yea I’m going to. Makes no sense. But what to replace it with

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Your brain.
