They Gave Me the First Hit Free. Now I Can't Quit.
Anthropic just killed OAuth for OpenClaw. Subsidized monthly plan gone. Per-token now.
I realized I'm a drug addict. Not metaphorically — the pattern is identical.
🧪 First hit cheap. Build everything on their product. They change the terms. More dependency. Less leverage. You rent intelligence from someone who controls the price.
💊 Rate limits at 2 AM. Quotas on their schedule. Pricing changes after months of infrastructure built. We're building dependencies, not businesses.
🔓 Not going cold turkey — frontier models still best for complex reasoning. But done letting them be the foundation.
Hybrid: 80% local, 20% cloud. Industry-specific LLMs on your own hardware. Cloud as utility, not foundation.
Every point shifted from cloud to local is a point nobody else controls.
Not anti-AI. Not anti-cloud. Anti-dependency. The future is owning specialized intelligence.
