        Pretty sure this is the reason HN exists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol

        Including this one, yes.

        But the reason people say "Claude can't compete" is because Claude Opus has been going downhill since 4.7, and many have found Opus 5 intolerable. Fable is much better, but also much more expensive than OpenAI's offerings.

        And comments complaining about how only big businesses get benefitted too

      Is this comment about astroturfing or a decline in comment quality? To be honest, I was one of those early commenters, and I was just genuinely shocked at the price drop. I am also excited to try Opus 5.5!

      Welcome to the new internet. It was fun whilst it lasted. Next evolution will likely be closed, invite only forums.

      Fundamentally I feel like coders just doesn't even need to be that smart anymore given AI assistance. This place ten years ago used to be filled with some of the most interesting comments/takes around for that reason.

        if you step outside of the constant stream of ai bickering, there's still plenty of interesting comments/takes here.

        It’s not that bad: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;bestcomments">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;bestcomments

          I really like that page. I&#x27;ve recently attached a search feature to it with corresponding atom feed.

          One thing that&#x27;s changed over time is a lot more usage of &quot;scare quotes&quot; especially now (Gemini agrees <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;share.gemini.google&#x2F;UiUf0jttZLVD" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;share.gemini.google&#x2F;UiUf0jttZLVD ). It&#x27;s an interesting phenomenon, Abloh started using quotation marks consistently in his fashion branding since 2012. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blakecrosley.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;design-philosophy-virgil-abloh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blakecrosley.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;design-philosophy-virgil-abloh

          Next step would be to attach an AI to all the &#x2F;bestcomments.. if someone needs help doing that I&#x27;m here. Really, that&#x27;s a task for the mods.

      Stick with it. The collapse of HN is a leading indicator to the fall of humanity.

      I remember how a few months ago Dang was criticizing people for making comments like this. Guess he just realized how stupid that was and stopped bothering eventually.
      1. minimaxir · · focus · HN ↗
        The comment got flagkilled, I&#x27;m unsure what else dang would need to do.
        1. Madmallard · · focus · HN ↗
          flagkilled by AI evangelists and not reasonable people

      Are the prices very nice or not?
    10. sidrag22 · · focus · HN ↗
      Ya all these articles lately about how everyone is sick of reading AI prose, and interacting with models in general. Tons of new model optimizations and workflow optimizations or whatever. I&#x27;m not really aware of any idea or product aimed at making the internet usable, and making it somewhat resistant to the generated noise. I think HN is a bit better than reddit for this type of example for floods of comments, first movers on reddit REALLY rise to the top and stay there.

      Are you trying to imply that nothing OpenAI can release would justify that response and therefore the people must be bots?

      Asking cuz I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;m a bot [pats self], I legitimately prefer the GPT models to Anthropic&#x27;s, don&#x27;t like Anthropic&#x27;s customer service&#x2F;reliability story at all, and I welcome a massive price reduction. Seems like something I should be happy to get.

      If you&#x27;d told me I&#x27;d be typing this a year ago I&#x27;d be skeptical though.
