Here we go. The massively subsidized #AI plan pricing is continuing to break down. #Anthropic has been doing different sneaky things to slowly acclimate folks to a new (more expensive) reality. This latest move is classic #shrinkflation.

A wedge of Japanese cheese has lost 40% of its weight over 70 years while the packaging stayed the same. Japan's economy has done exactly the same thing.
