Yeah, and I assume they're mad about getting gassed, but they will take that out on whoever they encounter, not the feds. Love to have a bunch of angry cops rolling around looking for something to prove.

Ahhh. It is confusing. But not as much as the part where they justify constantly losing money because everyone else is too! This is fine!!

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.
reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...

A handful of users abused the system so all are getting punished.

This isn't about a few high-usage users. The reality is that approximately 22.5% of our users are consuming 20x what they're currently paying us. This isn't sustainable for us to continue delivering the quality service you expect. We have built some very powerful tools and we don’t want to impose artificial limits on what’s possible, but we do need to be able to charge in proportion to the use customers are getting from our platform. Developers are always going to push their tools to their limits, and we encourage that — and we need to be able to charge for it appropriately, too.

You only care about professional developers.

Our core focus is on building the best AI coding agent for professional software engineers and their teams. If people outside of that group are finding value with Augment, they are very welcome to use the product, but we’re not prioritizing features or solutions that non-developers might need, and frankly, there are plenty of vibe coding/low code/no code solutions available on the market that will better serve those customers.

You are just squeezing money out of us at 20x margin.

20x margin sounds great, but isn’t the reality for AI tools: the vast majority are running at a loss, including us, while we work to build sustainable, long-term businesses.

It's funny that people who use their product too much are described as"abusing the system"

This is because the feds won't stop gassing our neighborhoods so they can flee and, by extension, are also repeatedly gassing the cops. What a moment to be alive

ICE isn't even pretending that they're responding to danger, they are snatching our neighbors off the street, and billionaires are helping the regime take down the tools we need to protect ourselves. Things are very bad right now in Chicago.

Chicago’s East Side neighborhood has a history of being one place where industry concentrates its most polluting elements. That environmental racism plus the release of multiple forms of chemical weapons today exacerbates terrible health consequences for a mostly Latino working class community.

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · 12h

masked federal agents used multiple canisters of tear gas + other chemical munitions on a crowd of residents in chicago's southeast side around 12:40 p.m.

neighbors had gathered on a residential intersection following a morning during which dozens of border patrol agents terrorized the community.

tear gas billows from canisters in a residential intersection, at 105th street and south avenue north, on chicago's southeast side.

The absence of street vendors (and really, just...people) in my neighborhood is so haunting I don't really have words for it.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

On about this date in 1801, Britain's first census was begun. In a subsequent survey conducted in 1881, residents were asked to furnish their "rank, profession, or occupation." Some of the more puzzling responses, as preserved by the London Genealogical Society, included:

Colourist of artificial fish

Knight of the Thimble

Disinfector of railways

Examiner of underclothing

Invisible net maker

Electric bath attendant

Proprietor of midgets

Fifty-two years an imbecile

Knocker-up of workpeople

This is the only moral position.
" Whatever their intentions, those who would ask us to oppose deportation only sometimes are enemies of justice. It is imperative that people of conscience do not listen to them."
littlevillagemag.com/letter-to-th...

ICE’s actions even when legal are not legitimate, no more than were the actions of police who enforced legal segregation or the “man-stealers” who legally chased down fugitive slaves who had, in the eyes of the law at the time, illegally stolen themselves by running away from plantations. No deportations, period, for anyone, and fire everyone employed in migrant detention and deportation.

He said he had initially been afraid to approach, but as a crowd amassed, he felt empowered to show up himself to defend the immigrants, who he said are “more American” than the agents themselves.

“I was afraid to go over there,” he said. “I got braver the more people came out. I know my neighbors have my back, and I have their back. ... These are Americans who know what freedom is — we’re being invaded by strangers.”
