NEURODRIFT AI
Longreads on artificial intelligence without the hype or the apocalypse: how LLMs, agents and automation rewrite work, attention and power — and who actually wins. Model breakdowns, tools and consequences the press releases skip.
Your Claude or ChatGPT is patient H.M.: brilliant every second, with no bridge across the night. Kyle Redelinghuys ran 10 billion tokens in 8 months — $15,000 of compute for $800, because the same context kept being reused. 9 loops that turn a one-shot genius into an exocortex — and where €1,000 actually goes.
On June 12, a single US government letter switched off two Anthropic frontier models for every foreign national on the planet. Why AI became an instrument of the state, how the 'compute curtain' works, and who holds the switch to your access.
My infrastructure is 11 containers, 6 products, €27/month, a stack that looks like 2014. And it's not shameful — it's an edge. An anti-hype autopsy: Brooks, WhatsApp, Amazon, 37signals and 74% of dead startups against the 'architecture astronaut' who builds not your product but his own résumé, on your runway.
Dnister breaks down the launch of Claude Fable 5 — Anthropic's first generally available Mythos-class model at $10/$50 per million tokens. Why 'should we switch' is the wrong question, the new economics of AI (cost-per-task versus cost-per-token), how to route tasks across Haiku, Sonnet, Opus and Fable, a fact-checked effort-level grid, the counter-thesis about definition of done, why 1M context is not memory, and the anti-patterns that burn budgets. With pricing and routing tables as of June 2026.
The prompt is no longer the main weapon for working with AI. The loop becomes the main one: context, agent, tools, artifact, verification, memory, repetition. The same architecture as in Madyar's drones — only in code.
