$250,000 degrees are long term investments. But what happens if the planned income to justify them isn't there in the 2030s and 2040s? If corporate America is happy to hire people with $10,000 degrees, is there any point in going for an equivalent degree at 25 times the price?

As the AI jobs apocalypse seems to have already started for college graduates, this question has now become urgent reality, not future hypothetical.

TED, ETS and Khan launch new $10k AI degree

Ran this benchmark on recently published real code base benchmarks to test the Sharp chat template that reduces token use and fixes bugs on locally run Qwen3.x models. Thought I’d bench Opus 5 high and Sonnet 5 medium alongside, for fun. I guess we have finally reached the point where the reduction in Claude’s quality has finally surpassed the upwards trend of local models for actual real world work. Claude Max 20x subscription btw. Not for long though hahah.

I don’t care about Artificial Analysis index or published benchmark numbers. If Opus is beaten by the models I run on my own computers when it comes to fixing real bugs without introducing regressions in real life code bases, it doesn’t matter if it’s because Anthropic is silently reducing Opus quality to sell more Fable tokens, or whatever is going on. EDIT: Someone asked me to add the chat template link to the op, so: https://huggingface.co/peculiar-ragdoll/Qwen-Sharp-Chat-Templates The "Sharp Qwen3.8-27B" model is here: https://huggingface.co/peculiar-ragdoll/Dirk-Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF and "Nail (Sharp 35B-A3B)" is here: https://huggingface.co/peculiar-ragdoll/Nail-Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF

At this point it feels like way more than once per day and is super distracting. Is it just asking you to reload anytime an engineer commits or something?

Anthropic: this should feel way more organized and like 2X per week maximum.

Used Gemini for the comic. Prompt:

create an image for this comic.

it should be a single image. no text, no baloon dialogues (i'll add that later).

use a simple, minimal style. mostly blank (white), with black lines. some accent colors here and there.

there are two women, friends, sitting on a couch. they're talking, facing each other. one is silent (listening), and the other one is talking (venting), holding a lit cig.

Every since the last reset, OpenAI has decreased limits SIGNIFICANTLY. I am not another one of those saying that I feel like limits are too low. I have proof too, and if other people can post graphs like these on X, it can make an impact on OpenAI. My Nerf Tracking app shows that since the last reset from 3-4 days ago, limits have been halved, from an API value of the previous $160 to the value of $80 of a weekly limit. After the reset, in the first 2 days they nerfed limits by 40% to see if anybody noticed. Since not many people made noise, they decreased usage by a further 10% at the point where it has now become a 50% limit of what it was 4 days ago. Which you can also say means, that now a 2 weeks limit on the plus plan gives you as much usage as what the same plan, which you paid the same amount of money before too gave you in a single week. I understand that the plus plan was never meant for extensive coding. But that can not be taken as an excuse that less usage is given for the same amount of money. If limits of the Plus plan as decreased, that also means that there is a decent chance that Pro 5x and Pro 20x plans had their usage nerfed.

I feel vibe coding is becoming addictive

I’ll think:

“I need to go pee.”

Then immediately:

“Wait… let me give Claude one more task first.”

Same before making coffee. Same before eating. Sometimes before going to sleep.

It feels weirdly wrong to leave the coding agent sitting idle.

Short-form video gave us:

“one more reel.”

AI coding gave us:

“one more prompt.”

Anyone else doing this? 😅
