Developer ditsuke vents about the absurdity of building on closed AI APIs: 'You don't hate the new way of working enough, until a closed provider decides to kick you off, work pushes you to closed provider no. 2, who is intentionally nerfing the inference and model, and open models are not an option.'
A pointed summary of the triple squeeze facing apps built on closed APIs: account bans, deliberate capability degradation, and no viable open-source fallback.
