If you are a legally operating company in the US just saying it's banned is enough, the threat of enforcement is enough pressure.

You and I obviously can just use a VPN, but 99% of usage is likely as part of a company.

The problem is, as anyone trying to address security concerns in claude can attest to, the guardrails trigger even when trying to address real bugs. Good cyber defense requires an understanding of the offense.

How you avoid the "fix my code" attack, the code being someone else's code, I do not know. But nerfing the model doesn't seem like the best path forward either.

If the one other competitor didn't allow it, then would we be allowed to complain in your mind?

This argument is terrible, we're lucky the one other competitor, for now, allows installing what you want or people like you would argue everything is fine.

What is up with this attitude in this thread? AI has taken off programming basically this year, the end of last at best. The first truly capable LLM, ChatGPT, isn't even 4 years old yet.

Just a crazy amount of doom and gloom all around this thread.

I have no idea if anthropic can actually make money at their subsidized subscription rates (you can easily hit your monthly cost in one 5 hour session if you price out the tokens through the api), but if subscriptions didn't exist, I do think everyone would be on deepseek 4.1 and just not look back.

Imo deepseek 4.1 (and a lot of the cheaper models, Luna is similar) show the issues in benchmarks. At this point.

In actual day to day development the differences are a lot harder to spot. Maybe deepseek is worse, but I asked it to run until it was able to launch itself and verify it worked as expected, and it did. Maybe it wasted some turns, idk, but when it said it was done, it was done.

I have no doubt there's things it's worse at, but what percentage of development is truly novel?

I'm in the same boat, I guess I had this naive idea that unsolved math problems would mean something if they were solved. But it seems like a lot of them at least were more thought experiments than anything else.

IMO what's being called an 'Agent Development Environment' solves this issue for you. I like Orca but there's a few dozen of them.

Basically they give you a way to view the code the llm has generated/changed easily, annotate that code for the llm, and manage multiple agents and at once.

There's definitely times where the question is 'hard' enough (usually having to do with something so business specific the LLM won't have a great answer) where a true human answer is needed, but I do regularly still get asked questions of 'why is x failing' with a datadog link. And if you shove the exact logs they've already found that contain a stack trace, the LLM instantly tells you exactly what was wrong.

Do you think I made up the quote? Should I quote it again?

From the article

>More than 5,500 people in Vermont have similar home battery systems.

This is _literally_ a rounding error. It's less than 1% of Vermont.

So it's your comment that's truly baffling, though I'm sure others would appreciate if you posted your own source. There's certainly no power plant getting shut down because 5,500 customers have batteries, but again I'd love to be proven wrong.

The speed of deepseek is insane to experience after using claude code with opus for so long. Not only is the tps roughly 3x faster, but the round trip times are magnitudes faster.

That source has nothing to do with 'on teacher' violence, just general violence. A school fight would count as an incident for instance.

I know everyone says this is political but it actually seems like a textbook designation. Anthropic wanted to have rules on how the military used AI, the military said no and therefore doesn't want anthropic used anywhere in their supply line.

This is like a pen manufacturer not wanting their pens used to sign drone strike orders, now the military needs to have a special box of pens that don't have stipulations attached. With AI usage it would be the same thing except applied to entire product chains. It seems like it would just add more complexity to operations.

You can agree with the rules anthropic wanted, but having rules set by a private company at all that apply to the military does seem fair for the military to object to.

>The Department reasonably feared that Anthropic might manipulate Claude’s design to prevent it from performing national-security functions that the Department deems contractually authorized and necessary

Though they'd probably put the DoD on the cybersecurity whitelist today, the very idea of the claude whitelists for certain functionality already exists and is being used by them today.
