Is sasha-id an Anthropic employee or official bot, or a prank? The structure of its response is strange, plus that gif. Cherny's response seems like the only legitimate one. My question is serious; apologies if the answer is obvious to you.

He's the guy who reported the bug. It looks like he copy-pasted an email from Anthropic without context, and the gif is his response.

Giving them access to your account or credit card is a bit wild. That's what prepaid cards are for. You charge it with exact amount of money you need to pay for what you want and leave it empty after you pay. You can later watch for bounced payment request to help evaluate their reputation. At this point Anthropic is about as reputable as shady porn site.

He is the original author who faced the bug. I believe he just copied the response he received from Antrophic

> However, I need to let you know that we are unable to issue compensation for degraded service or *technical errors* that result in incorrect billing routing. This is very surprising. I've never seen a legitimate business not give refunds for technical errors of their own fault. Minimum Anthropic should credit the full amount to them.

Maybe Anthropic is just testing the waters to see what they can get away with. Left unchallenged (court, charge back, whatever) why change course?

C'mon folks, let's stop using Claude|ChatGPT|etc en masse. It's time to start the revolution (from our beds, at least)

I'm in. What's next?

Local LLMs.

Krasis is one such tool that allows large models using blended GPU/RAM.

ik_llama for better performance than llama.

ComfyAI for local image generation.

Nanocrab seems better for orchestration. Still need a good system capability firewall.
