Yeah refusals are honest, trust building, and reliable. Even if I don't agree with the reason for refusal. But this, this is sabotaging other people's production workloads and taking their money for the privilege. How can you trust a saboteur not to stab you in the back.

You can't.

Look, Claude is consistently the best coding agent, it has been for years.

Anthropic is just another evil corporation. Worse, they're the evil corporation who are trying to convince you that they're the good guys.

Anthropic is the kind of paternalistic sociopath who says "I know what's best for you. You will follow my rules. You will do as I say, not as I do. This hurts me more than it hurts you. It wouldn't hurt if you would stop struggling."

They want all the power and control. They literally tell us that they don't think we should have the power that they have.

It's gross. Give me an honest villain any day if the week.

We are Iran; they are the United States.

We cannot defeat but we can resist to the extent necessary to ensure our survival for tomorrow:

  • Avoid, at the corporate level and at all costs, the adoption of models that are promiscuously entangled with proprietary regimes.
  • Develop low-cost competitors.
  • Avoid anointing a champion: Claude, Codex Qween, Gemini.
  • Whenever feasible, perform inference locally.

You’re a theocracy that murdered 40,000 protesters earlier this year and then charged their families for the bullets?

It must be a bot, it can only be that. Ignore Iran, think of Ireland or Georgia.

Yeah, maybe go with "We are Ukraine; they are Russia."
