New: we solved which AI company is buying massive shipments of rare books, scanning and destroying them to train AI. We put an Apple AirTag in a rare book, followed it. It ended up at an Amazon facility. Its logo is a dinosaur ripping through a book 404media.co/we-tracked-a-shi…

Regardless of the fate of frontier AI models, building idiosyncratic tools seems to be where we’re headed. But it’s progressive web apps for now: no App Store review, no Xcode, no developer account. Build your web app, host it, and it’s instantly “installable” on any phone.

Once again, the issue here is not Anthropic adapting its product offerings to its resources or to demand, but rather - the lack of proper professional announcement or any kind of communication beforehand, - the absence of a clear indication of the changed product scope on the subscription page (which borders on deliberate deception), - AND the fact that, without any clear notice, Anthropic is conducting A/B tests on the back of randomly selected peoples wallets. This is customer hostile.
For clarity, we're running a small test on ~2% of new prosumer signups. Existing Pro and Max subscribers aren't affected.
