A lot of the comments here are reacting to the censorship aspect, which is obviously an important point. But the more interesting subtext to me is that I feel like this gives insight into the situation within the company. I'm assuming they wouldn't do something like this unless the recent load issues (mostly driven by OpenClaw usage) were seen as an existential threat. So I'm guessing that's how the leadership views…

We all get the "realpolitik" of it. That doesn't mean anthropic just gets to ignore the contract they signed. Well it does as long as you're fighting the fight for them before it even gets to anthropic.

I strongly dislike all of these companies (and the people who run them), and I don't love LLMs in general, although I use them every day because they are useful for my job. But the simple fact is, if you're paying $20/mo and using $200/mo of tokens, that is not going to last forever. The only way to make it last a bit longer for the people with relatively sane usage patterns is to try and stop people absolutely takin…

> scamming from the literal money That's par the course for Anthropic. I added some money to my account before I really had a use case for product. A year later they said my money had expired and when I contacted support they basically told me to pound sand. This while they have the audacity to list one of their corporate values as 'Be good to our users'. They'll never get another dollar from me.

Everybody does that, the only question is how much time they give you. The issue, as far as I remember hearing, is that in the US expiring company credit can be immediately recorded as income, whereas indefinite-term credit only becomes income once the user spends it.

This partially reproduced for me. I did not see my session use go to 100%. I did however get: > API Error: 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"You're out of extra usage. Add more at claude.ai/settings/usage and keep going."},"request_id":"redacted"}

yeah, this smells like a bug in their (dumb) usage segmentation. For example, there is a distinction of what is classified as extra-usage-billed VS extra-usage-enabled. As a long time claude user, I can assure you they are different things: to use Sonnet[1m] you are required to have extra-usage enabled, but it won't actually bill it unless you are out of quota. Surprisingly, you can use Opus[1m] without extra-usage e…

Probably some Slopcoded bot which posts fake comments to drive people to their content. After all, if you’re paying hundreds of millions to buy these shitty podcasts, you might as well host some bots.

Did you even check the link? It's a podcast from Cal Newport, a quite known figure (at least in software engineering / compsci circles). So it's not exactly a random shitty podcast. And, it's also (obviously) not my content.
