Good advice about the dependency. This stuff is definitely addictive. I've been in something of a manic episode ever since I subscribed to this thing. I started getting anxious when I hit limits.

I wouldn't say that Claude is failing though. It's just that they're clearly messing with it. The real Opus is great.

Take good care of yourself and don't get sucked in too deep. I can see the danger just as clearly in programmers around me (and in myself). I keep a very strict separation between anything that can do AI and my main computer, no cutting-and-pasting, I write the code because I understand it or I don't use it and I see every session with an AI chatbot as totally disposable. No long term attachment means I can stand alone any time I want to. It may not be as fast but I never have the feeling that I'm not 100% in control.
