AI subscriptions are dead Claude Fable 5 will only be on the Anthropic subscription until June 22nd. After that, you will need to pay for usage per token This will be the start of a much larger trend Frontier models will no longer be included in subs You’ll pay a fee and it will only get you access to older, much cheaper models If you want access to that dank AI sour diesel, you’re going to need to pay for every token you use. No more subsidies And it make sense. The subsidies were just a Ponzi scheme For those that don’t know, when you pay $200 a month for an AI sub, you get thousands of dollars of tokens These AI companies actively lose tremendous amounts of money because of these subscriptions. GDPs of most countries every year are lost on your $200 Claude Max sub The investor money is running dry. IPOs are coming because of this. And with IPOs need to come profitability The golden age of paying $200 a month and being able to code on 40 Claude Code instances and getting a usage reset every 5 minutes are about to die The party couldn’t continue ever. You can’t just leverage the entire global economy for years and expect nothing to break. Now it’s time to pay up Means a few things: 1. Time to be responsible when it comes to which models you use. You don’t need Fable 5 for GPT 5.5 Xhigh for everything. Build the skill of knowing when to use cheap models 2. Local LLMS/hardware will come even more in demand. I’m currently running GLM on my Mac Studio. It’s great. Is it Fable? No. But it gets the job done for free on simple tasks. Learn about local LLMs 3. This is the beginning of the wealth gap expansion. Those that can afford to spend $10,000 a month on Fable 5 will build incredible products that eat up more and more of the economy. Those that can’t afford Fable 5 will have an insane disadvantage 4. The government will need to step in eventually. There will be too much civil unrest. I hope the answer isn’t free money. That won’t do anything. I hope the answer is education/access to AI resources for ALL. Universal Basic Opportunity 5. You need to seriously reconsider where your money goes every month. If you are complaining about AI prices and in the back of your mind you know your skill set is becoming quickly irrelevant, all while spending money every month on Netflix, Xbox Live, Paramount , drugs, DoorDash, Uber, and other things that bring nothing positive to your life, you are simply doing it wrong. AI is an investment in yourself. It’s an investment in your relevance to the global economy. You need to make sure you make that investment The pieces on the board are quickly moving around. The rules are changing. The battlefield is shifting. If you’re not strategizing accordingly, you’re cooked.

Boris Cherny (Claude Code's creator): I deleted my IDE in November and hasn't opened it since. I writes more code than ever. his actual words on stage: I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops that are running. They're the ones prompting Claude. My job is to write loops. the progression he described: → a year ago: writing code by hand with autocomplete → then: running 5-10 Claudes in parallel, prompting each one → now: he doesn't prompt at all - he writes the loops that prompt Claude what it's already done inside Anthropic: • ~3x more code shipped per engineer (he says that number is already outdated and higher) • Cowork - a full product - built in ~8 days, 100% with Claude Code • designers, the finance guy, even the chief of staff now ship code his advice to founders: give everyone as many tokens as possible, and underfund every project on purpose - 2 engineers a pile of tokens instead of 4. the roles are melting into one "builder."

What if AI is actually creating more jobs than it is replacing? The latest JOLTs data showed that US job openings surged by a massive 731,000 jobs in April. Markets were expecting no change, resulting in the largest beat in JOLTs history. As a result, available employment hit 7.6 million for the month, the highest since May 2024. And, job openings in the professional and business services sector surged by a massive 668,000. The labor market's bull case from AI is underpriced.

Starting a neobank is now incredibly cheap. With crypto rails, most of the stack comes out of the box for free. That makes CAC the dominant cost driver, and the whole business becomes a game of acquiring customers for less than they’re worth. The way to keep CAC low is to specialize. Teams often start by focusing on a narrow segment, like farmers in one region, young people in high-inflation economies, or expats in Asia, and build features and marketing tailored precisely to them. The result is great for consumers: they get financial experiences designed for exactly who they are.

Prompt your neobank idea into reality After spending several weekends studying 166 providers across various layers of the neobank stack, excited to share this output neobank.build

The US Treasury ending reputational risk to "end debanking" is just one of the many very fascinating ways in which the Trump administration is manipulating public opinion. Reputational risk requires banks to e.g. scan for adverse media, incl. social media s.a. X or LinkedIn and even what you say in public Telegram groups, on the people they are offering services to. This is indeed a major factor for debanking: one harmful article on you or your business and your account may be closed or denied. What the Treasury is not telling you is that the entire AML system is built on risk – and that the administration has added to the items to scan for like no other. The list for risks now includes: "anti-American" views "anti-Capitalist" views "anti-Christianity" views "extremism on migration, race, and gender" "hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality" as well as newly added AI/data center opposition and Data center protest movements In short, the Trump administration is telling you that it is ending debanking – while in reality, it is causing the debanking of its political opponents like no administration before. Don't believe their lies.
