they think im building an indie game but what im actually doing is building a recursive socioeconomic cooperative to demonstrate scalable collaboration as a weapon against the system that is killing us all (low key)

imagine if pizza corp just randomly said โhey we know you ordered a sixteen-inch za but we decided to give you an eight-inch za instead but its actually more pizza, pinky promiseโ
Hi,
Tomorrow we are re-opening the Pro $200 subscriptions to new subscribers, but together with it we are also changing how we calculate the usage for it. In effect, if you do the math, it will net out at half the dollar in API spend compared to the old Pro $200 plan.
Now that it's said, let me explain why this is happening and why you will still get more work done than if you were on the Pro $200 subscription one month ago.
(a) We didn't want to compromise in other ways and are committing to not reintroducing the 5h limit, so that you can fully use the weekly usage when you want.
(b) On the subscription, we guarantee that over time you always get more work done and with an increasing level of quality. This means that you will continue to get more value per dollar spent as a result of models getting more efficient and us passing down the improvements in the form of API price reductions.
(c) We don't want to put an incentive on ourselves to artificially inflate the API list prices to make it look like you are getting a lot (and workaround it through discounts, etc). Instead we want to continue to both rapidly reduce prices and increase capabilities of models on the API. This week we introduced GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna at 50% of their previous price. Over time, we see prices go low enough that it makes sense for most to buy usage as needed without there being a significant gap between what you get in a subscription and what you get in the API for a dollar spent.
(d) Tomorrow, we are adding more things to the subscription that won't draw on the usage, I won't reveal what that is yet.
I wanted to be transparent before all the big announcements tomorrow. Lots of new exciting things are coming to the subscriptions that will make it super compelling, but I wanted to make sure to share this change ahead of time so you can all understand it before we shower you with good news.
Codexingly,
Tibo

ai and robotics could mean that no one has to perform toil again, within a few years.
but our society is so poorly structured that new work "must" be created, even if it is menial and pointless (which is why we have so many people doing pointless jobs already)... a rational society that experiences technological progress (which deprecates labor) has those spoils shared by it's people, allowing everyone to benefit. that's the whole point of technology: to replace work/process we don't manually enjoy (or cannot do).
imagine a society where every step of progress was collectively enjoyed and embraced. the factory has a new machine that means it only takes people half as much labor for the same output? great, all workers *should* now work 20 hour weeks instead of 40.
but that's not what capitalism does, because capitalism is optimized not for human or planetary wellness, but for those already in power to endlessly extract and exploit others (capital<->power forms a recursive feedback loop).
if we do not fix this pattern, we will not only continue to make things worse and worse for today's people, but we will actually kill our species (because capitalism has no considerations for externalities, such as the environment).
this is literally life or death, but the 'life' we're talking about is all the life generated over a few billions of years of evolution - all the fucking life we know exists in the whole wide world.
there is no justification for murdering the species (and likely all the species). fuck capitalism.

how do people logically resolve โe/accโ (accelerate into the future!) and โconservatismโ (โkeep things as they are, or revert to the good olโ times!โ).
arenโt these fundamentally at odds?

youโre made up of 30,000,000,000,000 cells anon. the healthier you are, the healthier your cells are. the healthier your cells are, the healthier you are.
you are a collective (in a collective).

the idea that the individual and the collective are at odds with one another is perhaps the worst expression of orwellian doublethink this fucked up society believes.
the truth is (obviously) the health of the individual and collective are *correlated* - the healthier the collective, the healthier the individual. the healthier the individuals, the healthier the collective.
weโre literally running recursive self-harm instead of self-support and it explains the whole fucked up shape of this world.
