To be honest, Anthropic and OpenAI are geniuses. Give away tokens now, let people develop unmanageable code bases, relying on "just ask claude to explain it/fix it."
Cause in a few years they'll start turning the screws on your enterprise license a since all your seniors left and you replaced the juniors with claude your only choice is to pay them to fix their shitty code. Just one more rent seeker on your bottom line.

"US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declares OpenAI management personally responsible for HuggingFace hack"
Like, did these idiots think that if they created some agent swarm that was dangerous and brought down critical infra or something else that they wouldn't be immediately rounded up and sent to jail? Donations only protect you so far.
Every person at OpenAI should be watching their back cause you know full well that Altman will throw as many people as it takes under the bus to protect his ass.

I was getting dismayed at Claude and people were hyping up codex and they offered a free month. This is my first time using an OpenAI product, and I've never dealt with such a lazy LLM before.
I takes shortcuts when I don't ask it to, even with the most expensive models, it will leave tasks incomplete but say they were complete. It will just stop working on something and I have to tell it to get off its lazy ass and finish the task.
Just all around trash garbage.

"Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and other research institutions and corporations were scrambling today to protect themselves against an anticipated wave of invading hackers armed with a dangerous new tool. Mythos, a piece of computer software designed to help companies plug leaks in computer security, was released on the Internet today amid widespread fears that it could help malicious hackers do just the opposite. Claude maintains that releasing the software would force organizations to take better security precautions. TIME technology writer Joshua Quittner predicts that Mythos will become “the Michelangelo of 2026,” referring to the hyped virus program that scared computer operators 33 years ago, but never showed up."
