The only thing I’ve seen Meta release recently are spy glasses, and every employee who has worked on that product should be in prison (with a live 24/7 feed where the world gets to watch them wallow).
The times I’ve been asked to evaluate a prospective candidate and I see that product on their résumé, it’s been an instant veto, in the same category as working at Palantir.
"For subscription plans, we’d rather give access sooner than later, so we’re rolling out more conservatively, in stages:
From today through June 22, Fable 5 is included on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans at no extra cost.
On June 23, we’ll remove Fable 5 from those plans. Using it after that will require usage credits.
If capacity allows, we’ll extend the included window.
After this point—when sufficient capacity allows us to do so—we aim to restore Fable 5 as a standard part of subscription plans. We intend to do this as quickly as we can."
Now it's a "promotion" that we get to access to Fable for 9 days instead of the original 14 days announced. They are generously throwing in a special halving of the usage "at no extra cost", and freely admit that their classifier is broken and will need to be improved.
Everyone did get the first 7 of the original 14 days before the export ban. Now everyone gets another 7 days. Limiting it to half the weekly limit stings, but if you have a quota reset in the middle of it you still get effectively one weekly limit. (does everyone's quota now reset on Saturdays?)
It isn't a promotion, it's 2x the parameters of opus and we are paying with 2x the consumption rate.
They just want to get rid of the subscription model.
