AI CODING
AI CODING got really expensive this month since Claude changed it's billing from monthly to "per token." People who were "vibe coding" were going through their quota in days and hours, when previously their quota lasted nearly a month
CLAUDE released their most powerful AI Model -- FABLE 5 -- on June 9, 2026. However they also crippled the model, censoring heavily questions about biology and other things, even inquiries that should not be taboo
