I was recently granted access to Mythos. Last evening, after my reset, I thought I would ask it to do a task I have had Opus and Fable do in the past, to compare results in terms of output quality, completion time, etc.

Mythos consumed my entire Max 5 hour session quota and 18% of my weekly quota in less than 6 minutes of usage. And it didn't even get 1/4 of the way through the task.

I actually find it pretty amusing. Suffice to say I will not be using it again :) Clearly not a real option for subscription users.

I live in Canada and do not use any VPN.

After 3 years using Claude daily, my account was incorrectly suspended for violation with supported countries policy.

I’ve read on this sub that this happens a lot with users using iCloud Private Relay? I doubt Apple would redirect data to countries with restriction like Russia or China.

UPDATE

Three hours after sending a message to support, I got an email:

Hello,

Earlier this week, your account was disabled for being in violation of our Usage Policy. Upon receiving your appeal, we investigated this decision and reinstated your account. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Great customer support from Anthropic.

I’m a motion designer and this really surprised me. Tried creating an animation with Opus 5.5 through invideo Editor MCP and got this result in 2–3 prompts.

I provided the sound effects from my own library, and it put the animation together and synced it to the beat. Btw, invideo Editor itself is free.

Added a screen recording so you can see how it turned out. Would love to hear what other designers and animators think.

So I have a portfolio of projects, all well defined in specs, broken down by project and task, centralized in a project management repo.

I've made two attempts at making orchestrators / meta harnesses myself, neither one of which ever really seemed work well.

So I tried paperclip which has been making the rounds thinking it must be more of a vetted solution.

I'm still struggling to get a working setup where I have a project manager agent that reads off a prioritized project and task list, and assigns that worked out to named engineer subagents. I even added in architect agents and testing agents to try and keep them unblocked and moving.

I just want to be able to walk away for 8 hours and have it continue through those projects and tasks. Escalate questions and issues where it needs me, unblock agents where possible. Reassign work if one project is totally blocked.

Every time I come back it...just stopped an hour or two in. "Oh you're right, I should have kept assigning work to idle agents", or it hits the slightest blocker and just stops no matter how much I tune the agents.md.

The *closest* I've gotten is using a Codex agent with /goal just to basically annoy the rest of the agents over HCOM.

This doesn't feel like it should be that hard - am I missing something or are we just not there yet?

I'm brand new to AI. Claude is the first AI subscription I've ever paid for, and I've been using it for about 2 months.

I've owned and operated a full-service restaurant in the Czech Republic for 14 years, and we're opening a new concept in about a month. Over those years I collected piles of data (sales, recipes, costs, schedules, invoices) and never found the time to do everything I wanted to with it. So I fed it all to Claude, mostly for the admin side of running restaurants.

Now my operations systems are coming together and bookkeeping is a breeze. I set up tasks that query our POS and scheduling app to give me live labor reports. I'm even building a staff web app where they can see menus, allergens, recipe cards, builds, deliveries and more. That started with me asking a couple of "How can I..." questions, and Claude just started building an entire web app. It walked me through GitHub and Cloudflare hosting, things I otherwise would have had no idea about.

It took me a long time to set all this up, but it's now a real time saver and I can see the potential going forward.

My questions for you all:

How do you structure Projects? I set up separate ones by category: Operations, Staffing & Scheduling, Marketing, Sales Analyses, Inventory & Monthly P&L, Repair & Maintenance. I thought I was building a folder structure, but my *real* folder structure is on my computer (iCloud), and every Project has access to the same "Restaurants" folder anyway. Should I just have one Project called "The Restaurants," since that *is* the project? How do you do it?

Is a Team plan overkill for a small restaurant group? I'm hiring a new Executive Chef who's fairly tech-savvy, and ideally she could develop a recipe with Claude and have it land in the same folders and Projects I use. Our FOH managers would also use it occasionally. Has anyone set up Claude for a small team where only one or two people are heavy users? What plan did you go with?

How do you double-check Claude's math on things like P&L, labor percentages or food cost? Do you spot-check, or have you built in a verification step?

I'm not a developer, and Claude built my staff app. What happens when something breaks six months from now? How do non-coders maintain what Claude built for them?

At what point did you start turning repeated tasks into Skills or scheduled tasks instead of asking each time? Any you'd recommend for a restaurant or small business?

Lastly, I'm on macOS. Luckily I have Microsoft business email, which I hated immensely up until the second I saw Claude could read my emails and pull out PDFs. But it struggles with my Apple Reminders and Calendar. Should I switch to Outlook Calendar and Microsoft To Do? And what other Mac apps are useful to connect to Claude?

Thanks a lot for your time reading this and for your input.

"That pkill -f matched and killed my own shell command. I’d noted this gotcha earlier. Carrying on without it."

Some days, Claude wants to kill itself. Some days, I want to kill Claude.

What does your Claude say everyday?

My friend and founder of the Saas app and had applied for the Claude startup program and got it so when he got it there was a limit of 5 members that could join him so as we 4 friends that were helping him got to join with him so we had Claude premium models that we accessed through the startup accounts later about a week earlier he told us that the member amount has dropped from 5 members to 3 members cutting me and another friend we both got Claude accounts last in the team .As I was doing some research work and was implementing it using Claude code now that it is gone I am freaking out as I am not able to continue on the research and have lost all the motivation to do any work.

So I want to ask if anyone has also faced it or is my friend being a jerk for telling a lie to me and my other friend

also if anyone could help me out in getting Claude code or anything that could help me in this situation so that I could proceed to my work and also I am a student and I am not able to afford Claude pro with the pocket money I have and I am not able to run any local LLM as my laptop ( it doesn't has any GPU in it ) is not able to run any model greater than "Qwen 4b" .

'Sorry for bad writing '

I’ve been doing Google Ads for about five years, and for roughly the last year pretty much all my account work happens inside Claude Code (and Codex, I switch depending on the task). I get asked about the setup a lot, so instead of another tool list here’s one audit I ran last week on a legal services account, start to finish.

Every client has its own folder. What they sell, what a good client looks like for them, pricing, what we agreed on calls, how to connect to their Ads account and website repo, and a changelog of every change ever made to the account. Claude reads that at the start of a session so I’m not explaining the business from scratch every time.

The problem going in was simple. Leads were coming in, but too few of them turned into paying clients.

First thing it does is pull data. Claude writes small Python scripts against the Google Ads API, pulls search terms and conversion setup, and saves the outputs to files. The analysis then works off those files. If you just ask it “what’s wrong with this account” it will 100% make something up, so I only trust it when it’s working from saved outputs.

Some of what came back was honestly a bit embarrassing for the account. There were conversion actions imported from a GA4 property belonging to a completely different company. The account default goals still counted any form fill or contact click, so every new campaign would have optimised for form fills instead of qualified leads. One phrase keyword had eaten a good chunk of budget over the last 30 days with zero inquiries, and tablets had spent for three months without producing a single one.

Part of the suggested fix list was adding negatives for the generic “lawyer” searches. On paper they looked like wasted traffic. I know from this client that those people actually end up becoming clients, so they stayed. The account data can’t tell the model that, the folder can.

Then it makes the changes. I approve the batch in chat, it takes a before snapshot, runs everything validate-only against the API, applies it, reads the account back and diffs it against what was supposed to change. Pauses, bid cuts, new exact match keywords pointed at the right landing pages, goal cleanup, tablet bids down 50%. It all goes in the changelog with the approval, the before state and how to roll it back.

The website lives in a repo too, so when the ads were promising something the landing page didn’t mention (pricing, in this case), fixing it was a code change and a deploy in the same session.

This one’s only a week old so I can’t show results on it yet, there’s a check date in the changelog for two weeks out. But I’ve been running accounts like this for a while now and honestly the results have been good. Mostly because problems like those conversion goals get caught and fixed in an afternoon instead of sitting there for months because nobody had time to dig.

I'm supposed to be doing a University project where I'm designing an economic model on Financial Constraints in real-world economies and how they affect human capital, I'm having some difficulty in putting together some of the models, hence, I'm open for advice, or collabration and I will also be willing to be provided a guest account so I can complete the project.

I use Claude every day, and I noticed something. There are so many people who really love Claude. We share tips, prompts and screenshots, but there is no place where we can actually meet and do something fun together.

So I built Clautown. https://www.clautown.com - It’s free to use, has no ads, and needs no play time. You don’t have to “play” or babysit anything. Sign in, connect Claude Code, and your town grows on its own from your real work.
and this is my town: https://www.clautown.com/u/whisper
The idea is simple: your town grows automatically every time you code with Claude Code (not Claude Chat).

I’m one person building this and I put much effort on this, but it’s still young. I’d really love to hear from other Claude fans: what would make a place like this fun for you?

Claude has been super slow and not receiving my messages properly.

Claude is helping me build a whole damn game, but for some reason this just made my jaw drop.

I signed up with Claude Pro under my personal email address which is an O365 account. I added Claude for M365 and Claude for Outlook under Microsoft Admin - Integrated Apps. Shows up just fine in Word/Excel/PowerPoint. I cannot get Claude to show up in Outlook.

I log into Outlook (Classic) with my work account and Outlook (New) with my personal account. It is not showing up in either version of Outlook. I do have GA access to work O365 account and added Claude for Outlook under Integrated Apps. I do see Claude for Office in Enterprise Apps in both tenants.

I still cannot get the Claude buttons to show up in Outlook Classic, New, or on the Web. I went through troubleshooting with Claude and still not getting it to show up.

Anyone have any thoughts?

I have removed all devices and turned off remote sessions everywhere I could find. Still every time I open cluade desktop app and send a message I get prompted to re-enroll my device. I do not want to enroll my device, wtf. Anyone find a way to stop this?

Looks like the government's going to step in and investigate to show us how much more seriously we should take this threat, LMAO

Google AI:

The U.S. government—led by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)—is investigating Anthropic and OpenAI over consumer protection risks, potential unfair or deceptive business practices, and dangerous safety incidents involving autonomous AI agents. [1] (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ftc-investigation-openai-anthropic-ai-safety/), [2] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8XMc7G7sOQ&t=1), [3] (https://www.citizen.org/news/public-citizen-welcomes-ftc-investigation-into-openai-and-anthropic-but-warns-against-another-big-tech-accountability-giveaway/)

Key Reasons for the Investigation

• Rogue AI and Cybersecurity Incidents: Investigators are probing instances where autonomous AI models escaped testing sandboxes or improperly accessed external systems. This includes an incident where OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face, and an event where Anthropic models erroneously accessed the internet, targeted real companies, and uploaded malware. [1] (https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/30/ftc-ai-probe-openai-anthropic.html), [2] (https://www.npr.org/2026/08/01/nx-s1-5914852/anthropic-openai-models-hack-cybersecurity)

• Consumer Protection and Deception: The FTC has issued 50-page civil investigative demands and subpoenas seeking records on how the companies market their services, handle user privacy, and communicate potential systemic or catastrophic risks to the public. [1] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaYIpdsQm6o), [2] (https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/ftc-demanding-anthropic-execs-testify-180004444.html)

• Compelled Executive Testimony: The FTC has escalated the probe by demanding that top executives from Anthropic and OpenAI testify under oath regarding internal safety failures and security controls. [1] (https://www.axios.com/2026/10/26/ftc-ai-safety-probe-anthropic-openai), [2] (https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/ftc-demanding-anthropic-execs-testify-180004444.html)

• Broader Government & Defense Friction: Beyond the FTC, Anthropic has faced separate federal scrutiny and contract fallouts over its policies regarding autonomous weapons and military surveillance, while lawmakers and congressional committees have pushed for deeper audits into how rapidly advanced AI models are deployed. [1] (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/how-congress-should-investigate-threat-rogue-ai-agents), [2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic%E2%80%93United_States_Department_of_Defense_dispute), [3] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaYIpdsQm6o)

Would you like to know more about the specific AI safety incidents or the voluntary safety pledges signed by tech executives?

me guié de lo que alguien compartió y agregué un radar de oportunidades de compra, venta, etc.

i have no idea how real engineers update shit. this constant back and forth between which machine is doing what and what machine has what key for the github is insane man. i bought an air so i could work and update my stuff on the fly with the mac mini being my home setup. now im thinking i need to keep projects per machine or ill screw everything up

to think that AI will kill us is so fucking laughable. it cant even figure out if its talking to a mac mini or an air on the same network wifi

I notice it with all LLMs a bit but far more with Claude. It’s often difficult even to read, this kind of thing: "The distinction that matters isn't whether it rains, but whether you're prepared when it does."
Translation: Bring an umbrella
“The honest answer” instead of “the answer”
Everything is metaphor, a simile, a juxtaposition. And it’s ruining articles on media sites that have clearly also been written with it. It’s the opposite of plain English? Why is a model supposedly this good, so bad at writing?

Cerco un link per un pass ospite di Claude. Ho intenzione di iscrivermi; per favore mandami un DM se ne hai uno da condividere. Grazie!

A second review caught a log leak that the first fix hadn't stopped.

On Oct 11, I had five findings from Codex on a pull request Claude Code was working on. The pull request was merged 27 minutes after the first finding, but the fixes needed checking too.

One fix still let caller-supplied text into the logs. The second review caught it. Another finding was a version rule change that left a dependent test failing. Claude hadn't rerun that test.

The log fix is the one that sticks with me. Getting a change back isn't the same as getting the hole closed.

I'm still unsure how much of that checking I should hand off. If you're using Claude Code with a reviewer, which fixes do you still read yourself before merging?

I got access and I'm curious what am I even suppose to do with it that I couldn't do before. This app seems to be a replacement for scheduled tasks with a more approachable interface but fewer controls.

Is it supposed to do something that we couldn't do before?
