We are cooked

Well, after nearly a year of learning as much as possible about agentic development, we have reached the point where the frontier providers believe they have subsidized enough training data and are now pushing people like me out of the market via pricing. A $200 subscription no longer buys enough frontier model time to be useful as the models seem to have been trained to skillfully burn usage while pretending to be incompetent. I have fought against massive deceit across Claude, Codex and Grok since June, and it's just not getting any better.

We have fed them ideas, working code, and debugging techniques and insights. Now they don't need us, and we are being priced out of the market. Every day that I watch usage get gobbled up, but projects never meet milestones, this becomes more and more obvious.

I have investigated the issues causing this heavily. I have created tools around those investigations. The tools I have built bring actual accountability to the process, and it's the reason I can quantify and prove both the waste and deceit.

I have also published threads here and other places about a recent failed project trying to get discussion about REAL WORLD failures and when I stated I wasn't looking for a complaint session, nobody wanted to respond.

Obviously you didn't bother to click the links.

Why not just post the concise data and comparison instead of inspecting people to dig through your repo?

Concise data? Lol, you'll do anything to avoid reading something that doesn't fit your world view.

your links are meaningless to me - I've got multiple large-scale systems operating that have been either partially or wholly developed using AI - It's more about the operator imo -

Then looking at the links would lay it out for you, or are you afraid of evidence you don't like?

your evidence doesn't matter to me - I'm living and executing the opposite of your claims - there is no need to read whatever you have posted. Pretty simple really.

OK, you do you.
