Might not be a very popular advice or even what you're looking for, but I think Anthropic banning you (or any user for that matter) is a blessing in disguise. The sheer amount of compute resources consumed by their high reasoning "pondering..." and "bloviating..." tokens isn't sustainable at scale. Eventually, they must ban everyone but those with deep and infinite pockets in order for this model to be sustainable and turn revenues.
Computers and LLMs are great at automation of low-level human cognitive tasks like memory, decisions and loops, etc. but struggle enormously with high cognitive tasks like reasoning, deep logic, nuance, etc. Not that it can't be done (Claude platform is proof that it can) - but the cost and scaling advantage in this realm belongs to the human brain, not the LLM.
- clows 3mo ago> Might not be a very popular advice or even what you're looking for [...] why comment then?
- Bishonen88 3mo agoThis is as unhelpful as it gets. The genie is out of the bottle - people can create unimaginable things with claude within hours. What would take months/years can be done in a day or a week. Being banned on those platforms is a real setback for many users. One might argue that openai etc. are valid alternatives, but when they dropped fable (and perhaps reinstate?), not being able to use it simply means others can do more/better.
- 59nadir 3mo ago> What would take months/years can be done in a day or a week. Hahahaha, this reads like pure unadulterated marketing. I sincerely hope you're getting paid for these things at least, it would be sad for you to be this way without even getting anything in return.
- Bishonen88 3mo agoyes, I'm getting paid handsomely for delivering software faster than every before, using llm's. If you mistake that for marketing, then so be it.
- LtWorf 3mo agoI hope you write in your contracts that you have 0 liability.
- brookst 3mo agoOh! Are you a 100% human programmer willing to write in your contracts that you accept full liability for all impacts of any bugs in your code? Do you buy professional insurance, or just write completely perfect code?
- Freedumbs 3mo agoI don't know if it's unhelpful if you consider broader time scales. In 2027 or 2028, Anthropic and OpenAI might decide to stop subsidizing LLM usage and charge enough to profit. Would you pay $100 for a bug fix? They're already headed in this direction. Fable was 10x cost of Opus 4.6. They can't keep burning cash forever and we're reaching the peak of what can be justifiably spent on training cycles. Speaking of training, did OpenAI just give up?
- basisword 3mo agoThis is idiotic. It’s like telling someone they should be grateful the electric company has banned them because artificial lighting will mess with their body clock.
- tosti 3mo agoNah, more like banning tobacco because it's addictive and bad for your health.
- subscribed 3mo agoThis is about as misguided as the previous one. It's just nonsensical. It's more like there were only two notable powertool brands and several small ones, and someone got banned for life from the arguably the leading one.
