Genuine question though, why would I care about this if I'm paying for a subscription and adhering to TOS. I'm very skeptical about their privacy policy, business practices, and so on, but am curious what the negative about this is. Seems like it would work to my favour as a customer pushing back any date of the cutting of subsidies.
That said, these fraudulent proxies are helping Chinese labs keep up, which might be to my advantage long term in eventually having a high quality private AI I fully control on my own hardware. That's not support, but I do recognize the incentive, for whatever that's worth.

- yard2010 3mo agoWhat if they decide you're not patriotic enough, serving you evil models, because one man with a lot of shmeckels told them to?

- largbae 3mo agoRight. They really should wait until _after_ the regulatory capture bit is locked in to mess with users.
- Laurel1234 3mo agoHow would you know? They've already degraded model performance silently.
- simonduchastel 3mo agoOne negative is that Claude Code is pretty buggy, and Anthropic makes frequent changes that cause unexpected regressions [0]. With the harness now doing weird stuff with proxies, I'd be worried of them inadvertently introducing bugs which affect people using the feature legitimately.

- OkWing99 3mo agoMaybe they should try running Mythos to check Claude Code, given their marketing with it's superior performance.

Then they came for the [users that spell favour the good way, with a 'u' in it], etc. > why would I care about this It's up to you, of course. But I think you're making a mistake in assuming it could, in any way, benefit you as a customer. This isn't specific to this company or the particulars of the business that they're in. Simply put, you stand to lose more than they do and they are relentless in seeking, maintaining and exploiting any leverage they have over you. Further, any power they gain over one individual customer tends to generalise to all customers. Further further, one company's leverage is another company's right. Not being bothered by the practice is accepting the terms set by the business. Acceptance invites escalation. Relentless. Even more simply put, you should care because this is how you get John Deere.

- alienbaby 3mo agoWhy care about privacy if your not doing anything wrong?? Not everyone agrees that what you are doing is benign.
