    TLDR

    Jane Manchun Wong posted that she canceled one of her AI subscriptions because she found it arbitrary and unfair that only a small number of handpicked institutional players have privileged access to the best model a frontier lab offers. The post identifies her as a technology blogger and app researcher known for reverse engineering. No further details on the specific service or lab appear in the packet. Her statement stands as a first-party account of her own action and reasoning.

    @omarsar0That's why I am bullish on open models. We need access to AGI together at once, not in phases. 😅
    @theoIncredibly grateful to be one of the people with early access. I'll do my best to get you guys prepared for what's coming. I just hate that this is done in such an exclusive way. Doesn't feel fair and I hope it's temporary.
    @petergyangI live in Codex and think it's the best software shipped in the past 5 years. But the combination of influencers posting non-stop about how great Astra is and paid users unable to get access at the same time is pretty rough IMO. I realize I'm an "influencer" now too and maybe am just jealous. I also recognize there are multiple parties involved in these decisions. But just wanted to be real. Back to working with good ol' Sol and what's left of my Fable limits.
    @wongmjaneI canceled one of my AI subscriptions a while back because I found it arbitrary and unfair that only a small number of handpicked, institutional players have privileged, unobstructed access to the best model the frontier lab has to offer
    @RandyCounsmanWorking with @danshipper is cool and all, but getting to now reveal to friends the stuff I built with early access to Astra feels 😎

    @skirano@paularambles Ouch
    @xeophoni love all the non-hype and grounded discussion by people with no access to the model happening on my TL
    @thorstenballDefinitely starting to feel weirder and weirder with each model release. The "it's amazing!!! wooow!!" choir starts right on time, only to then whisper in the replies a "well, ..." While no one else can get access. Feels like a play we all pretend isn't a play.
