Claude is cutting back on usage policy for pro users…
GitHub CoPilot is now doing it too…
It’s not hard to see the future, AI companies bought up all the RAM creating a shortage which raises prices for all of us across the board.
Now they’re going to throttle and limit access to it behind a paywall per transaction. The future is so stupid. Can we just go back to dial up internet and IRC? It was a much simpler time.
You could also just not use these services. You don't need them. They were a stupid idea to begin with.
I do need RAM, though.
Fortunately, I got pretty well stocked up before this shit, but the hardware I've got now will fail eventually.
It's why I only use the free versions of these lol
