Cost of various LLMs.
As of 2025-05-31 Gemini pro 2.5 <200k tokens is excellent value and performs similarly to Claude Sonnet 4 and 3.7 for me at most programming tasks. Sonnet 4 and Sonnet 3.7 are same price. Claude Opus 4 is v. expensive and writes loads of tests and generally overdoes things.

AI ambivalence

https://nolanlawson.com/2025/04/02/ai-ambivalence/
I've avoided writing this post for a long time, partly because I try to avoid controversial topics these days, and partly because I was waiting to make my mind up about the current, all-consuming, conversation-dominating topic of generative AI. But Steve Yegge's "Revenge of the junior developer" awakened something in me, so let's go for…

As I prepare materials for a new university course on Propaganda and Censorship in Democracies, I am working on exercises intended to stretch - and hopefully fascinate - students.
