They weaponize the HN rules here. Which is frustrating, because one has to break the letter to defend the spirit.
Or it could be a kid that watched too many tech YouTubers.
But, fundamentally, that doesn't matter, because functionally it's as described.
I am not alone in dropping a positive AI message once in a while without having "an account" which is an outdated, useless notion anyway.
I find the greybeards unbearably stuck in anti-AI psychosis. People like myself have been saying LLMs are capable for years and were nothing but stigmatized and ignored. But now ya'll are seeing the light? A little tardy to the party. Again. Always late, but with a big mouth.
Cut a long story short: I don't gaf about Anthropic or any American company for that matter but I also don't gaf what happens to shortsighted big mouth developers that need literal years to see what was obvious on day one. No longer do I need to bow down to these types and it's extraordinarily liberating. In my company the dickhead sysadmins are falling one by one and it's gorgeous. Good luck memorizing manpages and obscure pf settings, because that's what we really need now. Humans memorizing things and calculating because that's what we're really great at. Great long-term strategizing there Newton.

Huh, actually, if I look back on my extensive conversations with LLMs and compare those with human conversations, the whole idea of a greybeard memorizing manpages is something they liked to come up with much more than humans do (if at all).
The idea of a greybeard kinda died out in normal conversation a while ago. Mostly, at least.
Good job on the abliteration I suppose.
