For the sake of the astronauts onboard Artemis, I hope they make it home safe. Nonetheless, pretty disgusted to see NASA effectively playing God with human lives at stake.

Pretty sure @jhogendorn was being tongue-in-cheek to call out (semi-related) questionable behavior from Keychron.

Love my Keychron Q1 Max. Awesome to see them open source their design files.

Thanks for the reminder to cancel my HBO Max subscription that I barely use!

Appreciate it. Was questioning whether my grasp of the English language was deteriorating!

"ever" - used for emphasis in questions and other remarks, expressing astonishment or outrage.

"who ever heard of a grown man being frightened of the dark?"

This may be one of the most unethical decisions I have ever seen a company make in recent years (disregarding fraud and the like.)

Likes are obviously correlated with the number of views a post gets. I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

There are varying degrees of evil though. Saying that Anthropic and OpenAI are both "evil" to the same degree is disingenuous (in my opinion) given Altman's sociopathic behavior.

So you’re not German?

The only benchmark I care about! Just curious Simon - which model do you think has created the best pelican riding a bicycle thus far?

Nevermind, looks like the [flagged] tag was removed.

I heard through the grapevine that both Satoshi and Back were human beings. Coincidence? I think not. /s

Agreed. Meditation and mindfulness have confirmed the importance of “being idle,” at least for me. Making an active effort to not be distracted by thought is quite the challenge, but it has brought me great peace.

Just curious, why is this flagged? @dang

No worries, happy to have reminded you. :)

thank you!

I did get the API credit, but it was "only" $100 so I'm still ~$80 shy.

Good point. I did actually cancel my Claude subscription a week or two ago, but I renewed it (regretfully) just the other day. The only other SOTA model that seems to be on-par with Opus 4.6 for engineering work is (maybe?) Codex 5.3, though I would rather not support Sam Altman indirectly.

Yikes. That's unacceptable. Crazy that it has been over a month and you still haven't gotten the refund.

> I even wrote it not only per email but also in the "in-chat feedback" system

Yeah, I did the same. Before falling back to sending an email to support@mail.anthropic.com (which my blog post references), I had 3 separate Fin AI in-chat convos trying to get in touch with someone. All of them defaulted to the "ask for a refund" workflow that only applies for subscriptions and left me more frustrated than anything.

Why not both? ;)

See the other commenter/thread that recommended I do this. I'm worried that by doing a chargeback, I will be blacklisted from using Anthropic's services, which I feel like is a reasonable assumption.

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, it seems like this is a shared experience among many Claude users. Hoping that this post will draw more attention to the issue so that Anthropic will address it.

Ah, I wouldn't have written this blog post if I had known that that was the usual turnaround time. There should really be more transparency on when one should expect to hear back rather than the generic response of "a member of our team will be with you as soon as we can."

edit: albeit another commenter claims they have been waiting for 2 months...

Thanks, I hope so too!

I wouldn't hold your breath. It seems like the only way to get an actual human response is by complaining on Twitter/X and hoping that Boris Cherny responds. https://x.com/bcherny

Yep. I don't want to get blacklisted from using Claude indefinitely by doing a credit card chargeback.

I was curious so I looked into it. Seems like my issues were encountered when Fin AI was running on Sonnet 4.0, though Fin AI's new model (Fin Apex 1.0) was rolled out ~2 weeks ago. https://www.intercom.com/blog/announcing-fin-apex-the-age-of...
