Since its behind an account wall, I can't tell if they are saying that Opus made the clone for cheaper or that Opus failed? It appears that Fable did far more "work" based on output tokens.
Aside: We should just ban Twitter links. Nobody should be required to make an account to view content on here.

On the aside, where's the difference between someone posting a Twitter link and an Economist link? Both are locked behind a wall, whether it account-wall or pay-wall.

what would we be left to read? couple of snarky remarks and maybe 2-3 paragraph of coherent text.

Well, restricting posts to those actually accessible isn't unreasonable. Allowing them is HN's worst policy, in my humble opinion.

The Economist isn't owned by someone who cheats at video games, subverts the government, and thinks Nazi salutes are funny.
