I feel like I'm the only person on this site that doesn't use AI for coding. I guess there's probably a lot of other people that haven't commented on this story who don't use it either. But when I read about how much hype and all that sort of stuff there is in the AI industry, and then I see the amount of posts and commentary and deep technical discussion about how this feature has affected people, I'm not so sure. E…

It will be shoved into your life anyway. You might like it or not, but the only safe choice is to learn and understand it IMHO.

About usage: it looks like web development gets benefits here, but other areas are not that successful somehow. While I use it successfully for Neovim Lua plugins development, CLI apps (in JS) and shell development (WezTerm Lua + fish shell). So I don't know if:

a) it simply has clicked for me and it will click for everyone who invests into it;

b) it is not for everybody because of tech;

c) is it not for everybody because of mindset;

The fix has been merged in https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode-anthropic-auth/pull/11, and PR https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/7432 is open to bump the version.

Until it's released, here's a workaround:

1. git clone https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode-anthropic-auth.git

2. Add to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json: "plugin": ["file:///path/to/opencode-anthropic-auth/index.mjs"]

3. Run: OPENCODE_DISABLE_DEFAULT_PLUGINS=true opencode

Claude Code only trains on data if you opt in

They switched to opt out, with some extra dark patterns to convert people who already opted out into opting in.

I did not know that. Could you elaborate?

So now you just need to remove the “read” tool to authenticate?

Or call the tool "Read" and it works, according to an issue comment. But actually the solution is checking out how the official client does it and then doing the same steps, though if people start doing this then Anthropic will probably start making it more difficult to monitor and reverse engineer. It might not matter, as some people have a lot of expertice in this, but people might still get the message and move aw…

The endgame is a small background agent that runs Claude Code every once in a while, inspects its traffic, and adjusts on the fly.

I'll say "maybe-sometimes works" is a misunderstanding. It feels like that initially, but that's no different from any new tool you adopt. A jackhammer also "maybe-sometimes works" as a hammer replacement.

Every prompt is a run of probability - It’s at the core of the technology to be unable to give reproducible responses and even after a while, Claude is just as likely to sneak-in crimes in every snippet it outputs.

like the other commenter said. you need to learn to use new tools. and your take clearly indicates you haven't.

That's not up to you or me. I think it's pretty clear by the phrase "Claude Code subscription" that it's meant for only "Claude Code". Why are you confused? This could be so easily abused by companies who spend thousands of dollars per month for API costs you could just reverse engineer it and use the subscription tokens to get that down to a few hundred

It’s like saying Netflix is wrong to require an official Netflix client to access their service. Total dud of an argument if you ask me.

Well, they are wrong, and the argument is still a dud.

Engineer working on Amp here. I'm very surprised that it took them this long to crack down on it. It's been against the terms of service from the start. When I asked them back in March last year whether individuals can use the higher rate limits that come with the Claude Code subscription in other applications, that was also a no. Question is: what changed? New founding round coming up, end of fiscal year, planning f…

Yeah. If my claude code usage was on API directly, it would be in thousands. I know this because I have addon credits on top of the max plan because I run into weekly limits often

For folks not following the drama: Anthropic's $200/month subscription for Claude Code is much cheaper than Anthropic's pay-as-you-go API. In a month of Claude Code, it's easy to use so many LLM tokens that it would have cost you more than $1,000 if you'd paid via the API. Why is Anthropic offering such favorable pricing to subscribers? I dunno. But they really want you to use the Claude Code™ CLI with that subscript…

By this logic ChatGPT shouldn't exist either and should be charged by API pricing
