Couldn't recommend it more. I've been on their $100/mo. plan and they keep randomly resetting my weekly usage limit. It's been wild. Don't know how long it will last, but I couldn't go through all my usage if I tried.

Their Sol model has been doing great for most of my tasks, even at its "Medium" setting.

Much different picture then back when I was using Claude. I would sneeze and half my usage would be gone and then it go down several times in between.

Hope it goes well for you too!

I think there's some truth to this, however, I remember hearing similar arguments when people where using calculators on things they were suppose to be working out by hand.

I bet if you had one of these students explain the rationale behind a strategy they put together for winning at TFT, he or she would likely give you a very well thought out, coherent, and smart line of thinking.

If I had to guess, I would bet that it has far less to do with people being "unwilling to think" and far more of kids becoming exhausted by the boring, learn by memorization, pad your writing to fill space, monotony of an old and outdated education system, divorced from anything at all resembling the real world.

Speaking from experience, I did horrible in school and 100% would've been using ChatGPT whenever I could just to get through it.

The second I got out of school and found out work is far more result/merit based, I "learned" really, really quickly.

The old Mark Twain classic: “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”

Choosing "form over function" has been the hallmark of bad design since flash and I don't see that tradition changing anytime soon, even with AI.

I don't really get why people have the audacity to presume what other people like and do.

You are not every other person. People are different from you.

While I 100% agree Ai is getting shoved down people's throats by tech giants, I would never presume to know how people are using it.

More people are discovering it, at least, as a better search box than Google. There's at least data behind that.

It isn't too far of a jump to then have it shop for you as well.

One thing that is interesting with stories like this: the wild, emotional responses Ai-related news gets out of people.

I feel like increasing each day, I cannot help but hear Squidward's voice when reading HN comments.

I know that I'm in a bit of a bubble with this one, but I am surprised there is still anyone using Chrome instead of Brave. I get the dependency on Gmail other Google-specific tools, but the built-in ad blocking and Google-free aspects of it made me switch instantly and haven't look back after years.

If they don't show up as green Subaru Outbacks with a bunch of bumper stickers on the back they'll stick out like a sore thumb.

100%. It's like being asked is this black or white and being shown 50% grey.

I mostly agree with this sentiment, but I do still find it funny how dramatic and curmudgeony many people on HN are.

We are, after all, talking about some metadata here you are more than welcome to leave off your site.

That is actually a pretty good encapsulation of why the vast majority of people, myself included, will never go within a galaxy of that website.

What a lot of these site owners fail to realize is that "I don't like X/Elon" isn't a very strong reason for creating content on their platform.

If one of them built a platform with better discovery/reach than X (or any other platform) I would join in a heartbeat.

The problem is that everyone is making the same mistake Elon is, making the platform about politics rather than making it about the content.

You're hitting the nail on the head with this one, a solution in search of a problem lol.

> Fiverr does not proactively expose users' private information.

This is such a weird thing to say, has any company ever "proactively exposed users' private information"?

Isn't that kinda taken for granted that most data breaches, leaks, bugs weren't meant to happen?

No, Dropbox had a defined use case and solved a particular problem.

I was a fan of Dropbox when it game out because of that fact.

OpenClaw does not serve a particular problem. When/if it does, I will happily use it.

But no, the two couldn't be more different. You'll notice, yet again, in your very message you failed to mention one specific use case of OpenClaw.

If you asked me the same about dropbox when it first came out, I would've said, duh it helps me keep my files synced between devices.

There is no such thing with OpenClaw.

After using this site a bit more the last couple of weeks there is something I need to get off my chest:

LinkedIn is the worst website that has ever been made.

Thanks and have a great day.

That's pretty much where I'm at with it.

I think once I see someone post a use case that I could actually see saving me some serious time, I'll take the plunge. Until then, I'll just let people continue to say how great (or terrible) it is.

I see a decent number of people on social media who won't stop posting about how great it is and how much of a moron every person is for not using it.

Oddly enough, rarely, if ever do they say what specific things they're using it for and how it's saving them time.

I remain interested in it, however, I've still awaiting an actual use case that can't be handled by some other tool/service that does it better/faster.

I have been thinking the same thing.

In fact, I recently started a one-man-show business I'm doing as a bit of an experiment in my city.

Every single web agency here builds WordPress sites. Really old, mostly ugly, WordPress sites.

So I've built out a next.js-powered CRM that's faster, more secure, easier to use, etc.

Now I'm in the starting stages of rebuilding local sites for free just to grab the case studies.

I'm doing this 1.) as a bit of an experiment and 2.) because it feels like the web agencies here are ripe for disruption (and no one else seems to even mention or touch AI)

With Claude + Codex (and a 15-year background in WordPress) I've jumped from taking around a month to build out a custom site to less than a day.

The interesting/tougher part will be product/market fit and building those first few paying clients.

So to answer your question? It definitely looks like it. I'm sure there are plenty out there who are adapting but they seem to be the exception in what I've seen.

You know what's funny, just the other day I tried to do an "export" of my data from my account.

The option I chose was "profile data" because I wanted to get my whole work history/projects/etc. for a new resume.

The export took several hours.

When I finally downloaded it, it included my name, Email, short description, and my Email address...

Giant leaps in innovation almost always have a reaction like this.

It's new, people fear it. Sometimes justified, usually not.

People greatly feared the car because of the number of horse-related jobs it would displace.

President Benjamin Harrison and First Lady Caroline Harrison feared electricity so much they refused to operate light switches to avoid being shocked. They had staff turn lights on/off for them.

Looking back at these we might laugh.

We're largely in the same boat now.

It's possible AI will destroy us all, but judging from history, the irrational reactions to something new isn't exactly unprecedented.

I've long since stopped building WordPress sites for clients, but you would be blown away by the number of people who have installed the free version of Securi or Wordfence, zero configuration, and then assume their site is completely safe from attacks.
