Meanwhile I was using it from germany all the time, not even with a vpn. It just works with occasional notifications "not available in europe", but literally just for a few seconds in the top right corner

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 lear…
You have to search really hard to find a bigger crybaby than Elon Musk around though. It's why he bought Twitter: to create a safe space for himself, where he can surround himself with all his favorite opinions (his own).

That's saying a lot given the other contenders are DEI folx.
When I got started in this business 20 some years ago it was wildly diverse: you’d have like a biker-gang looking guy with hard right politics getting yelled at by a chick with bright pink hair, but it would be about bash or perl or something. Never about stupid political posturing. We’ve managed to destroy the one profession with serious vertical class mobility where no one gave a fuck about your race or age or sexu…
> no one gave a fuck about your race or age or sexual orientation or politics or anything but can this person code, do they geek out

>is already worse than state censorship was in the USSR It is not. It is absolutely inadequate comparison.
Oh, it absolutely is. Censorship in USSR was manual labor. The scale at which its is operating today is incomparable, as is the amount of false positives which it captures, as well as the variety of censored topics across different institutions.
Manual vs automatic is irrelevant here. There was much less content to moderate if we talk about media. They could censor every single publication, movie or song manually. In oppressive regimes like USSR the censorship is total - the only escape is your kitchen (if you can really trust the people you talk to), in the West you are free to choose the platform and live peacefully in your bubble if you want.

#66Code verification failure on UK mobile number. So is it a EU launch not Europe?
I verified on a UK number weeks ago. It was available in the UK for a while already, but not in the EU.
thanks. tried everything I can think of, still no luck, run out of ideas.
If Anthropic want some business they can get in touch. For Claude direct, at least until then, I'll carry on using you on Poe for chat. Will go elsewhere for APIs.
