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.

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 this really true though? There is so much evidence that shows women and other minority groups to be systematically discriminated against in tech.

It's an easy (obviously not perfect) way to have some limit on the number of accounts you create.
I cancelled my mobile phone subscription, and this a problem I'm facing. What workarounds are available for people who have no mobile phone number when they want to so sign in to a service that requires a phone number for validation ?
The voice user interface for natural two-way conversation is GPT’s killer feature. Gemini also suppports voice input, which I use to make interactions easier on desktop. Hopefully Anthopic will add at least speech-to-text support, although I understand smartphones often include that already. That said, the OpenAI Whisper TTS is really nice for English language input.

Code verification failure on UK mobile number. So is it a EU launch not Europe?
But that isn't the cause of your issue – it's been available in the UK for quite some time.

Trust and safety folks are the biggest bunch of weenies around. Yeah I said it.
I’m not sure I’d put it like that (again anyways, I had a bad time when I did), but it is a really important point: when did these folks start legislating from Atherton or whatever (Le Defense)? Doing harmful shit via computers is already really friggin illegal, and if we need even more draconian computer crime laws? I say they get passed by like, a legislature or something. Fuck private individuals and/or corporatio…

> when did these folks start legislating Just making sure I’m understanding the situation correctly - these folks have gone beyond “controlling the output of their own APIs”, and they are now using government power to limit what you can do with your own software running on your own hardware??
Throw in the changes around the T2 HSM, the creepy semi-visible quarantine permissions, and OpenPhilanthropy lobbying to the tune of like, 100+ million a year.
Yeah, you are in grave jeopardy of not being able to easily, legally access available-weight, operator-aligned models.
