There's one person who pays them $250 a month who cost Augment $15,000. Amazing stuff. Can only imagine how bad things are for Cursor or Replit
www.augmentcode.com/blog/augment...

The user message model also isn’t sustainable for Augment Code as a business. For example, over the last 30 days, a user on our $250 Max plan has issued 335 requests per hour, every hour, for 30 days, and is approaching $15,000 per month in cost to Augment Code. This sort of use isn’t inherently bad, but as a business, we have to price our service in accordance with our costs.

Well no, the definition of concentration camp is why those detention centers are concentration camps.

🦋💔🇺🇸SEB🇺🇸💔🦋 @sebastiangarof5.bsky.social · 2d

If anti-fascism is designated as terrorism, the implication is that its opposite— fascism— would be the “acceptable” alternative. Does this mean that detention centers are actually concentration camps? 🔄

I can say this from personal experience: the stereotypes about conservatives are very well grounded. The shit they will say when they think they are safe is wild.

I'm not sure print subs mean much anymore, I'm 44 and if I told anyone I know I had a print sub to anything they'd stare at me like I busted out Grover Cleveland's time machine.

Was waiting to see how Olivia Reingold (who Oliver's piece destroyed almost as much as Bari Weiss) would respond, and you can see the tweet below which also shows she either did not watch his piece, or just didn't understand it, since he actually addresses this point directly.

Olivia Reingold quote tweeting Variety.

The Variety tweet is about John Oliver's piece on Bari Weiss leading CBS News, saying:

John Oliver slams Bari Weiss' takeover of CBS News:

"I wouldn’t want anyone who led a pure opinion outlet, not even one that I happened to agree with, to suddenly be running CBS News. But it is especially alarming to have someone doing it who has spent years putting out work that, in my opinion, is at best irresponsible and at worst deeply misleading."

Reingold then quotes it saying:

Why does this sound like John Oliver commenting on……John Oliver
