They banned my account a few weeks back because I asked it to translate some Japanese text that was on a kitchen knife. Still no response from their Trust & Safety team. It's frustrating because Claude is really quite good at coding and I used it frequently.

Trust and safety folks are the biggest bunch of weenies around. Yeah I said it.

Yeah but then also take it further.

They originate from modern society & it's need to cater to sensitivities. And that's a sentiment that's in general pretty well supported here.

It's the likes of Elon, hated here, that are the one's fighting this.

LLM's censorship is a symptom of a much wider problem. For instance we see it partially causing lots of mental anxiety: the world should bent to my anxiety instead of learning to deal with stress. But also in much more difficult topics that simply can't be discussed anymore and therefore continue to fester on.

Open a new account then?

I don't understand their api not being intended for individual use [0], are developers supposed to use this subscription only? The haiku model is pretty good for the price + available large context, and the opus/sonnet models are in the league of gpt-4, so I would have liked to pay for the api. I've moved on to llama 3 70B as a daily driver and it works really well! The only issue is it's small context size and it doesn't work great if you give it a lot of files to work with. Currently I'm forced to break down problems a lot more than I had to with gpt-4 or the claude models.

I know I can access the claude api through 3rd party sites + official partners, but there's no incentive to go through the trouble when llama 3 and gpt-4 apis work great for my use cases.

So, in general Claude still beats newest GPT-4o model in software development category, right? [1] Although new GPT is better at small coding excercises (72.9% vs 68.4%), it falls behind in more challenging refactoring tasks (62.9% vs 72.3%). I used Claude through VPN from Europe, and from the start could see it was much better than GPT-4, in my limited very subjective use cases. [1] https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboa…

It is better in my case too; need a RAG open router VS Code extension that can be used with whatever you choose. I tried a few but they are either too expensive (i'm already paying for the AI, don't wanna pay monthly for an extension) or really don't work.

If you are willing to make an account. I don't. There are enough free and open LLMs now which you can use without an account.

And without a mobile number. What is it with these US AI companies requiring mobile numbers?

It's an easy (obviously not perfect) way to have some limit on the number of accounts you create.
