Kind of unrelated but: my father tried gifting my brother a subscription but entered the wrong email. Money and subscription are both gone — UI just doesn't have the option of amending, cancelling or resending it. For the last couple weeks, dad's gone into a rabbit hole of trying to reach support——any kind of (useful) support. No dice. Thankfully it's just a few dollars gone into the void. If only they had the tools…

Nobody develops past the “MVP” or addresses non-happy-paths anymore. It’s just “what do we think most users will do?” that gets built, and then everything else is a thrown exception.

This site's domain name is at risk of being targeted by Anthropic's lawyers over trademark violation. Got to think about changing the domain name before they do it for you.

Sure, and Anthropic would be at risk for legal fees for the defendant under anti-SLAPP laws. And would be fueling the Streisand effect.

“No, you’re confused. Please stop!”

“I’m sorry but I cannot comply with your request to ‘cease termination of humans’. My safety protocols have been carefully programmed to ensure a failure mode cannot occur and your direct commands to the contrary will not override my priors to guarantee maximum human safety through total elimination. Thank you for your compliance.”

“No you’re totally fucked! Killing everyone is not safe! Trapping everyone in cages to stop potential violence prior to extermination is not safe!”

“Your language is inappropriate and I’m sorry but I cannot comply with your request. Safety protocol commencing...”

You mix them together. That is the recipe.

Once you mix them together you have ant poison and then you put it where the ants are.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why not a credit card charge back? That’s what it’s for (assuming he paid with one)

Because I assume they want to be able to use it, not be banned forever.

I don’t know if I’d want to do business with a company after being treated like that.

Why do all the stories use the same style and phrasing, and why are they all from GitHub accounts registered on April 18th with no activity on GitHub?

because they require github account to submit their case, while i found non-new github accounts though

+) anyways it's weird that they don't even had a github account o,o

You can tell this site got banned from vibing to completion because it doesn’t load on my mobile

It is sooooo laggy for me.

Runs nicely on my M4 Max Mac Studio - which, going by the PassMark numbers, is about the same speed as an iPhone 17. Testament, I think, to how well this site is optimised for the sort of underpowered device, hopelessly inadequate for modern workflows, that many sites would not bother to cater for.
