Anthropic, on their quest to achieve market supremacy via regulatory capture and hyping the dangers of AI, has managed to get the leopards to eat everyone’s faces.

Now they can’t sell their new products to anyone.

Look forward to the “upload your passport picture and two notarized sworn affidavits” to be part of the onboarding workflow.

Thank you, Mr. Trump, for keeping the "AI" hype contained ;) #Sarcasm

Receiving LLM-generated issues feels like being spit in the face, you are implicitly saying your time is more valuable than mine because you spent 5 seconds generating your *always* egregiously bloated slop that you expect me to read, and then expect me to spend time to implement/fix the issue, or merge your follow up slop PR and then maintain it indefinitely.

Clanker wankers can all get fucked, I am so fucking tired of this fucking timeline.
