Heh, I'm a college student, so I can't help with that...
You could also try Gemini 3 pro with Gemini's CLI which is free, though it's not as good at using tools. But, it sounds like you're not interested, which is fine!
Just please don't continue to argue with finer points if you're not interested. I've done my best to engage with your points, but I get the sense that it doesn't matter what I say.
I am curious though, why do you feel so strongly about LLM products?

Okay. Whip up your favorite model and report back to us with your prompts. I'm pretty anti-AI, but you're going to attract more bees with honey than smoke.
>"Productivity" became a poisoned word the moment that the suits realized what a useful weapon it was, and that it was impossible to challenge.
Not impossible to challenge. But most people don't have the legal funds to do so. Those that do tend to get a cushy severance bribe to stay quiet and they move on elsewhere.
That's also why it's a long process to "fire" someone but easy to "lay off" instead. layoffs are never about productivity (so it doesn't matter anyway), and the US is doing absolutely nothing to protect against it like most of the world.
When are we throwing anti-trust at the robber barons? That's the real question.
And as of now, we are not having "technological innovation". We found a new jackhammer and are tearing up the entire house experimenting with it. Maybe when the "shiny new thing" effect wears off we'll get true innovation. But as of now people are just getting paid to show off jackhammers.
You didn't so much "leave it on its own" as much as outsource the duty to nature. Turns out nature spent eras optimizing for tending to trees.
Can't really say the same for vibecoding. You still need to do a lot of work that's ultiamtely putting lipstick on a pig. Maybe someone talented can make it pretty, but it has a quality ceiling, and most won't get anywhere close to that; people will just see a pig with lipstick on it.
Not really. Some items naturally have value due to utility. Natural resources only lose their value if we somehow move on from all its utilities (like coal is, day by day).
Some are indeed via marketing, but any itema have intrinsic or at least, emotional value.
I'm so glad that style of inerview was dying out right when I graduated. And I love puzzles. But I don't need wannabe IQ tests for a job that expects me to work in legacy code and coordinae with other engineers.
Okay. Get me a job and I'll pay for any model of your choosing. Until then, finances are very slim.
