Look. This is a new golden age of cocaine, because of the big cuts in everything in the US took away the cocaine busting operations in Colombia and Bolivia, because the revolutionaries that previously kept control of it stood down and became a political party and new, profit-driven cartels came up, and because battery technology means that narcosubs and similar drone things work much better than before (and they can be made remote-operated, so the cops can't do shit even when they find one). Wholesale prices have halved or gone down 60% to like, 12k usd / kilo, street prices commensurate. The huge new opportunities created by increased market size have increased competition and made the cartel nature of the cartels decrease. So always think of that when you look at people acting like this and having such megalomaniac goals.

$30T? Why not $100T? $1000T? Why not $1 trillion trillion? If we're just pulling numbers out of our asses we may as well go big.

When all this crashes, future historians will look back and wonder how so many got hoodwinked by AI.
Some of these future historians might even be reading this Hacker News thread.
To any future historians reading this, many of us did know this AI stock bonanza was just a modern day tulip mania. Alas many wealthy people did get hoodwinked though.

The issue with models and Claude in general is that I don’t know anymore what model selection and thinking level are for. When first released, Opus 5 worked well; now it's crap. We have no control or visibility over what is really happening on the other end. You don’t know what is really running on the other end. Our incentives are misaligned: Anthropic gets paid per token - some abstract unit of measure that keeps changing all the time - while I pay for a problem to be solved. So it's Anthropic’s interest to waste as many tokens as possible, producing garbage cheaply.
Opus 5 has been absolutely horrible last couple of days, writing essays of code and comments, fixing one thing, breaking another. Finally switched to GPT 5.6 Sol and Terra, and it's so much better. But I had a similar experience before switching to Opus 4.8, so how long will that last...
