if you don't understand how you might have a conflict of interest in this discussion you really should be working at anthropic :)

My friends and I, and the teams I'm a part of, just want to build and create fun, cool things. I am so tired of being preached to by Anthropic like they're some arbiter of 'ethics.' So, so tired.

I support local models and enjoy playing around with them, but even for personally development it is just more viable for me to pay $200 a month to Anthropic for the latest models. It seems to me with the cost of hardware needed to run local models that, for now, it is pure hobbyist and exploratory (which is fun in its own right)

I use Cursor for work, but claude code for personal development. I think Cursor is still useful but the most value really is access to latest models
