I've been using AI every day for 2 years.
These are the exact prompts I use for Perplexity, Claude, OpenClaw, Claude Code and Grok.
Copy. Paste. Use today.

OpenAI Codex, Day 16 of 28: Tibo reset everyone's limits, and people are already out again!
Last night, Tibo: "We're cooked"
This morning: "Nevermind, we're still cooking... and reset."
By afternoon: usage drained, 429s, "model at capacity"
Reset #6 in 15 days.

Has Opus 5.5 been quietly NERFED??
I reran the exact same Mentos simulation prompt from September 30 today.
Same model. Same prompt. 20 days apart.
Look at the difference. 💀
It looks like making the current model worse is the easiest way to make the next release look 10x better?
The AI hardware war just got real.
Apple isn’t suing over a product. It’s suing over the people who know how to build one.
Zuck is spending $135B on AI this year, and even he’s telling staff the agents aren’t landing like expected.
When the guy throwing the most money at AI says it’s slower than the hype, maybe listen.
You’re about to overpay for Opus because “flagship” makes people act irrational.
Meanwhile Sonnet 5 is sitting there doing near-flagship work for a lot less.
Right now:
Opus 4.8: $5 in / $25 out
Sonnet 5: $3 in / $15 out
Sonnet 5 until Aug 31: $2 in / $10 out
So yes, a lot of people are about to pay extra for the badge.
For agents, coding, and research, start with Sonnet 5 at high effort.
Keep Opus for the really nasty judgment calls.
The “just use the biggest model” crowd is not being smart.
They’re just being expensive.
Pick for the task.
Not for the flex.
That $2 / $10 pricing disappears after Aug 31.
The US government just proved it can switch off a frontier AI model.
For 19 days, it did.
One jailbreak found by Amazon researchers, Anthropic's own biggest investor, and Fable 5 went dark worldwide on June 12.
Back July 1. The break is now blocked 99%+ of the time.
Users got 50% extra usage as the apology.
Bottom line: benchmarks decide if a model is good.
Washington decides if it ships.
