Imagine you trained the large language model which is too dangerous for humanity but you regexp over git commits to solve your subscription subsidy issues

I tried to replicate this but Claude was already down https://status.claude.com/

When asking about Openclaw in normal Claude Webchat it very peculiarly denied knowing what that is.

Even when asked to search online it still gaslighted me about it.

But Peter Steinberger said that openclaw was “fully supported” with a subscription through claude -p.

Do these refusals still happen if you’re using an API key instead?

So I suppose Anthropic lied to him?

Ok I am usually defending Anthropic, but it seems like this OpenClaw and Hermes ban was implemented incredibly poorly; it looks like a simple regex.

Didn’t they think about “we need to make sure Claude Code is never banned” ? Could have been as easy as including some Claude Code specific prompting traits (tools, system prompt, whatever) in there and automatically whitelisting it.

Is it foolproof? No. Will it avoid banning legit users? Absolutely.

First do the first large sweep, then see what still falls through, then ban those.

It really seems they were panicking due to capacity and there was very little oversight with all this.

I’m not affected but pretty disappointed.

The account posted is a massive grifter. He trolls twitter to make content for his youtube channel, which seems to be his primary occupation.

I am not saying that claude has not done this, I am just saying you need a better source than the Jake Paul of tech influencers.

Having had Claude Code jump to inserting juvenile and all-filtering regex to (attempt to) solve open-ended semantic natural language problems (-sigh- there's 12 hours of my life I'll never get back), I can absolutely imagine that this was someone trying to code up a "defense in depth" mechanic that was explosively insufficient after Claude Code (even Opus 4.6) made a series of faulty assumptions.

This one feels like prime space for Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

The hassle with the performance of these systems is that they're ~70% of the way to awesome. For advanced prototyping (my current job description), a fast 60% of awesome is groundbreaking and game-changing. For production and real businesses, that last 30% is a really, really important thing to figure out.

Oh come on Anthropic, just admit straight away that any other pricing than usage-based is completely unsustainable and is being phased out.. maybe doing it once but officially could save you some brand damage.

People who think LLMs are neutral tools are delusional. They will be used not just to shape public discourse (like "social networks") but more importantly they can be used to shape an individual's thinking.

If facebook/twitter/reddit are perfectly OK with intentionally increasing addictivity but are restricted by having to show you only existing stuff, what do you think will happen when LLM companies can generate new stuff tailored to each individual person?

Anthropic IPO will be massive, it'll start dirt cheap (thanks FUD) and it'll reach the moon in no time, to /s or not to /s, that is the question
