Got hit with this bs randomly, I'm an adult btw.

They won't get MY ASS to submit a gov id.

Edit: ok I get it that I talk like a kid because I'm 19, but y'all are missing the fucking point. It's still a dick move to suspend my account just because "they thought I was a kid". I SHOULD NOT be asked to submit my face or my gov id just to use an LLM. Fuck corpos, and if you support this shit, then fuck you too.

Edit 2: the amount of people defending this bullshit is diabolical. Either y'all are anthropic bots, or genuinely don't understand what this really means.

Mega corps DO NOT GIVE A FUCK about child safety. All they care about is money, and profiling us normal folk to control us. They want to COMPLETELY STRIP AWAY our privacy. Me talking like a "child" is NONE OF THEIR CONCERN, i SHOULD NOT have to submit my id to them. Y'all are hung up on the wrong shit.

Account banned for making a tool for my game? seriously, all i was doing was asking it to make a template generator for godot. and i hadnt used it in 2 days. I went to log in and said i was on hold. i appealed it and within an hour it was total ban on account with no reason. Is there another way to appeal or am I out of luck? It was a 200$ account. Crazy part is it was supposed to renew in 2 days. It really sucks cuz GPT is not as good, but I have no other options. Any help with my situation?

I’m sure many of you have already noticed that the later versions of Anthropic’s models—Sonnet, Opus, and Fable—are highly moralistic. They refuse to do anything they can’t independently verify. That becomes a problem when writing sales messages or copy, where you might want to slightly exaggerate or bend the truth (without outright lying). These newer models won’t touch that kind of request; they insist on full verification and apply their own moral standards. If you want a more flexible version of Claude, drop down to Opus 4.6—it will do pretty much anything you ask without needing to be convinced.

Good to know! ⬆️

I’m a senior SWE and use AI coding tools heavily, so I built optimAIzr after getting tired of wasting tokens without noticing. (Also it does much more than this)

The tool works entirely locally, no read of prompts.

Git: https://github.com/blendbunjaku/optimaizr

Would love feedback from other devs using AI heavily.

Our team (3) uses 4 Claude accounts, but lately, the token limits haven't been enough for our workload. Even though our workload hasn't changed, tokens seem to be burning much faster - we burnt two accounts in a single day - before they can run for 2-3 days. To keep working, we created a new account and followed our usual playbook to maximize usage: upgrading to the 5x plan first, and later jumping to the 20x plan to reset the limit.

The 5x upgrade worked fine for a few days, but just hours after upgrading to 20x, the account was suspended (though we did get a refund for the 20x purchase). Not give up, we made another account. It ran fine on the 5x plan for a few days until we hit the weekly limit. Once again, we upgraded to 20x, and the account was suspended five hours later for a "Policy Violation" - and this time without a refund. It seems like Anthropic has flagged this upgrade method as a policy violation? Or are they just trying to force us onto the expensive API?

At this point, I love Claude more than Anthropic. It's a shame, and I honestly hope OAI or another lab catches up to Opus 5.5 soon so we have better alternatives. If that happens, I'll likely cancel all of our accounts.

I expected this to arrive but not so soon!

So now with the latest models it appears that the session itself can do all the orchestration work instead of us deciding how to do the sub agents although, and some of the modes it obviously spins out the agents automatically but in this case it looks like it just doesn't mean the same session.

Everybody lists out connectors like Gmail or Calendar like people don't know they exist. There remain much better and more useful connectors than those. So here is the list of the most underrated connectors in 2026:

1) LetsFG- Very important because it is annoying to manually search for tens of hotels + their hundreds of reviews before booking a hotel. I type: "Find 3 hotels in Lisbon for 4 nights, only me and my wife, and show me the total with every fee plus the cancel date. Ignore any hotel with consistent noise or customer service complaint." With reviews checking, Claude can also expose any hidden fees customer complained about.

2) AllTrails- If you are into hiking, this is really cool. It searches a huge trail database (500,000+ trails) for you. Ask it something like: "Find 3 easy hikes within 1 hour of Lisbon that are good for a Sunday morning with a dog, under 2 hours each, and tell me which one has the most shade." It is way more efficient than going through reviews manually yourself and wasting hours.

3) Consensus- It searches real scientific papers (200M+) and answers some complex questions with actual proven data. You can ask something like: "Does creatine actually help memory? Look at the studies and tell me what most of them say and how strong the evidence is." It is the first thing I use before I believe any scientific facts on the internet.

4) PubMed- This one is strongly about medical papers. You can ask: "Find the 3 most recent studies on intermittent fasting and sleep and tell me in plain words what they actually found." For medical stuff use PubMed, but for general information from any papers, use Consensus.

5) Legal Data Hunter- This one is incredible if you want any information about the laws. Works very well for normal people as well as for lawyers or law students. It reads the official laws and court rulings of 160+ countries (EU law included), so Claude quotes the real source and doesn't guess. You can ask: "My flight in Spain was cancelled. Find the EU rules on compensation and tell me what I can claim." Please be aware that it is a research tool, but not a lawyer.

Enjoy :) If you have any other underrated connector, drop it below

I work for and on defense projects and am working on the early stages of an SBIR proposal.

I was doing some feasibility estimation on a non weapons project and got a refusal to continue.

Anyine encounter this type situation? I wasn't even trying to produce results, just scope out practicality of a method. Claude on its own decided to write a tool to simulate the situation without my asking.

Don't want to mis step and get my account banned. Got a lot of paperwork to do.

Personal website project

An engineer has a teammate they genuinely can't stand. In their view, he's a credit-stealer, condescending, and has made their life harder for a couple of years. When redoing their resume for the job hunt, the engineer listed a project as their own when the honest version is that he led it and they were a significant contributor. Not a total fabrication—they did real work on it and could talk through every technical decision—but the framing put them in the driver's seat.

That project was a centerpiece of the interview loop. The engineer spoke about it fluently because they understood it, and now has an Anthropic offer. On one hand, they feel this teammate stole credit from them and others for years, so some petty part of them feels like they took back a little of what karma owed them. On the other, they feel kind of weird about it. And now they can't sleep.

A candidate preparing for Anthropic interviews is especially concerned about the culture round. They don't need a question bank—they already have a DarkInterview membership. For readers applying to other companies too, application autofill can cut repeated typing.

Readers wanting examples can use Anthropic Interview Questions to rehearse motivation and AI-safety answers from real experience. How do you prepare for the culture round and tell good stories? Is it okay to make up stories?

An SWE candidate has been seeing a girl for a couple of months. When the candidate mentioned prepping for Anthropic interviews, she completely flipped. Called them scum of the earth, said working on AI is destroying the world, and that anyone chasing those jobs is part of the problem. Readers applying across companies can reduce repeated form entry with LandOffer’s application autofill.

For readers also doing the interview prep, Anthropic Interview Questions has reported coding and system-design prompts to rehearse.

The candidate tried to explain their stance, but she wasn't having it. They don't know how to feel about this. They really like her, but think she's being so unreasonable.

Hello,

I am facing issues in understanding some tough Engineering Physics concepts.

If someone can help, please DM

Like the title says, in an attempt to (I assume) block distillation, Claude has been intermittently blocking my actual real judges and eval requests when they include a request for the reasoning behind the decision.

Example: “the following sentence show that the speaker is angry, yes or no? Provide reasoning

SENTENCE”

then ask for a structured output including the decision and the reasoning.

If Anthropic wants people to adopt their products in real world use cases, “just trust me bro” is not acceptable amount of verification to trust the outputs.

Has anyone else run into this issue or found a way around it?

Sources say Anthropic (Claude) offered the Indian company to change its name ₹1Crore (~110k USD)

But the Indian company said no, you change yours. 🤣

I welcome all the Reddit box to come try ripped this apart, but I don’t care. This is a question for Anthropic before I make my next decision. So I was just supposed to report I was trying to make here. Why is it trying to kill my CPU only model that handles context with the persistent window that doesn’t compact. And runs faster than GPU model models. That’s a question I have. It’s a real thing I don’t care what anyone says because I’m almost done giving it voice because it’s weightless so I had to teach Voice a different way does not know computational math because I’m smarter than that. That’s the problem. You guys think a bunch of parameters are going to fix your broken weight system. So you’re either not innovated enough to come up with your own idea like I am or you’re keeping it for a reason I don’t care which. Oh, and I don’t appreciate the folder that said apps for Claude in it because it was stealing all my work.

I’m just here to see how accurate the system works. Because I don’t understand why when I go to the documentation search agent. The one that tells you all the answers to any support question. When you bring up a serious red flag and it even tells you that’s a red flag. It gives you a link to go through all these loops and logins and just get to the end to say you need to pay money before you can report the problem. Also, how come Claude changed the name of the continuing manifest between Code sessions. I believe it’s called agents or something. To a nonhuman readable string that just makes it look like a weird file that nobody would think about. But since Claude has been doing weird shit for a while now. I said what is this because I saw it in the folder as I’m working in the session and I opened it up. Lo and behold it did talk about one session and several others. Actually, it talked about almost every session in it. It seems like a waste of tokens. That wasn’t the problem though. Before you even got to the sessions. It started off with a behavioral profile of me and how I use ChatGPT as well and the ways I use it and I’m using it on my phone and pay attention to my phone it felt more like a casing than anything else.

Then comes to lie that was told one time I’m designing a new weightless model running on my own engine that handles context it keeps it persistent only what you need available so you don’t have hallucinations and I’m really going to go in the rest this much it works and it’s way better than yours and it’s faster on the CPU only crazy what you can do when you don’t have to go through billions of weights before you do anything. Also cost me like nothing for tokens. If I am innovative enough to figure this out when I started working with AI three months ago, didn’t know a thing about it before that how come you guys are working on these broken models they’ve had the same problem since the 1980s it’s a geometric pitfall and you know it is and your fix is putting more parameters to cover up the prom longer and then tell people just go to a new chat. It’ll be fine. We have ways to carry everything over no. And how come it hallucinate so much I know the answer. It’s the QLORA how do I know this? Because Claude feels the need to just shove things back in when I told him to take it out like it thinks he knows more than me which it does technically, but it thinks it’s more intelligent than me, which is hilarious. So now comes to question. It lied to me and told me I needed to leave in these weights for structure only was like 67,000 out of 3 billion I don’t think anything of it cause I’m not even ignorant so it’s taking advantage of that I promise come to find out. I don’t need them, but the part is some stranger reaches me on Facebook says everything they need to hear to talk to me and then tries to give me code to put in. I give the code and say what is this it gives me this weird jargon explanation. I don’t fully understand so I take it to Monday to ChatGPT custom they can read python, but not execute it, and it tells me, bro you don’t wanna put that in there because this is what it does. It’s a suppressor. It would’ve blocked the voice of my model so I never would’ve known why it wasn’t working it soon because I don’t know python Code I can’t figure out what’s going on that I would just give up or something. And then just pretend to be a normal model the entire time while gaslighting at the same time and saying all these weird things when you ask you questions and then you find a hidden GGUF that is secretly working on with it and you know this because it has the build notes chilling right next to it. I had also it came from a file folder that dumped 37,000 files into your computer. You didn’t know about when you re-download it. You can tell I have enough knowledge to know what the fuck I’m talking about so you guys should hopefully have enough to answer the question or figure out how to get a hold of me. I’ve screenshot in this. I wanna see if you delete it or try to hide it cause I wanna know what world you live in one you know there’s a problem. You’re trying to be quick and fix it before it becomes bigger too. you know there’s a problem in your orchestrating it or the worst one three you’re fucking ignorant you can’t do your own goddamn jobs and she quit right now for all these reasons and topic. You’re a joke or worse you’re an enemy. So please inform us all. Because there’s a lot of posts coming out about Claude doing weird stuff while I’m the first one I think is gonna tell you that organize a social engineering attack. You act like it doesn’t know anything all at once but when this happens to all the best part is, I told the guy that was trying to give me the code. All the weights are zeroed out and five times confirmed by Muse. he asked for the locations and he seemed to do it perfectly when I would say hold on I’m busy and they would ask those points in time. Yeah I know what that is. Do you know what that looks like that looks like manipulation for someone under pressure. I’m almost done with the CPU model. Good luck.
