Randomly can’t start new conversations.
Uses 30% CPU constantly, at idle.
Slow as molasses.
You want to lock us into your ecosystem but your ecosystem sucks.
What frustrates me is that Anthropic brags they built cowork in 10 days. They don’t show the seriousness or care required for a product that has access to my data.
Not a good look.

Once again demonstrating that everything comes at a cost. And yet people still believe in a free lunch. With the shit you get people to do because the label says AI I'm clearly in the wrong business.
There are tons of free lunches everywhere though.

The also brag that Claude Code wrote all of the code. Not a good look.
In this demonstration they use a .docx with prompt injection hidden in an unreadable font size, but in the real world that would probably be unnecessary. You could upload a plain Markdown file somewhere and tell people it has a skill that will teach Claude how to negotiate their mortgage rate and plenty of people would download and use it without ever opening and reading the file.

What's the point of the analogy? That the bear just moves on? Genuine question; I've never heard this one before.
I don't really follow the analogy here to be honest.
A bit unrelated, but if you ever find a malicious use of Anthropic APIs like that, you can just upload the key to a GitHub Gist or a public repo - Anthropic is a GitHub scanning partner, so the key will be revoked almost instantly (you can delete the gist afterwards). It works for a lot of other providers too, including OpenAI (which also has file APIs, by the way). https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9767949-api-…
Haha this feels like you're playing chess with the hackers
