tencentshillAnthropic Subprocessor Changes
Just in time when the AI slot machine owner will stop their promotional offers [0] for free $20 spins on March 28th. [1] (Before it was March 27th and now they recently added an extra day of gambling)
Now with this additional change, their usage limits are there to get you to spend more for rolling the dice at the casino.
Have fun!

I hear the slot machine thing a lot but I don’t get it.
I use Claude Code every day for coding because it makes me way more productive. But I don’t resonate with the slot machine effect. Can you expand on what mechanism you see that give it a slot machine effect? Is it for all users or just a subset?
"you think"
Well I know that when one is vibe coding, they are not necessarily "thinking" about the details on how something is built; they just roll the dice to the agent to generate the details and don't know if it is even correct or free of critical bugs.
That is the 'gambling' which Anthropic acts as the casino giving usage limits, promotions, free tokens until they pull the rug (which they just did) and the users suffer withdrawal symptoms from their boosted usage.
For people who want to ask a model for an app, or a website, or something at a level of “hey you make apps right, I have had this idea for years…” the experience is akin to a slot machine — sometimes they get what they imagined their description would create and it works, and sometimes they get a hollow chocolate approximation.
