You can no longer use your Claude subscription with apps that use the Claude Agent SDK, e.g. claude -p, Conductor, T3code, etc.

Is this rhetorical? Feeding the hungry. Healing the sick. Educating the masses. Etc, etc.

I'm a big space fan, don't get me wrong. But your exuberance uh, needs tempering.

New comment by AlexErrant in "Anthropic is burning more and more dev goodwill"

AlexErrant — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:28:38 +0000

tldr:

* Banning OpenClaw via system prompt filtering

* Unclear TOS, citing Matt Pocock who sells a course on Claude (and therefore his interests are aligned with Anthropic):

> I have never before experienced, from any developer tool, such a frustrating lack of clarity over the basic terms of usage. I personally asked, 3 weeks ago, and have received nothing but delays. The recent @bcherny announcement did absolutely nothing to clarify things.

More details: https://xcancel.com/mattpocockuk/status/2040536403289764275

* And finally refusing to help a user debug issues with Dropbox, repeatedly saying "I'm best suited for software engineering" and "this is a question for Dropbox support" (paraphrasing Claude).

In the 14 hours since that flagged post, the OP has changed _nothing_ in that repo to address the feedback people gave him, and instead decided to just resubmit his proj to HN.

AlexErrant — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 22:47:45 +0000

I flagged it because it includes incidents that weren't related to "vibe coding", e.g. ones related to Tea/Vite, and Cursor using "outdated Chromium/Electron builds".

Slop article. gtfo my front page.

There are many reasons to detest the current political landscape. Don't get distracted.

The disclosure timeline is concerning.

Reported 2025-11-17, and multiple "no responses" after repeated attempts to contact the maintainers... not a good look.

Hm, perhaps I was unclear.

AI absolutely is capable of doing damage, and _is_ currently doing damage. Perpetuating inequality, generating fake news, violation of privacy, questionable IP/rights, etc. These are more pressing than the idea that someday we will give AI the ability to manufacture nano-mosquitos that will poison us all, as Yudkowsky suggested on a recent podcast. He's so busy fantasizing about scifi he's lost touch with the damage it's currently doing.

This is a deeply unserious book. It gives no concrete outline that leads to extinction. I agree with the overall premise that IFF we give inscrutable black boxes the ability to self-replicate, build their own data centers, and generate their own power, we're doomed. However, I see no hint that people (or governments) will give black boxes complete autonomy with no safeguards or kill switches.

Frankly, if we give black boxes the ability to manipulate atoms with no oversight, we _deserve_ to go extinct. The first thing we should do if we achieve AGI is to take it apart to see how it works (to make it safe). I believe that's one of the first things a frontier lab will do because it's our nature as curious monkeys.

AlexErrant — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 15:12:28 +0000

I was looking for a way to index a JSON column that contains a JSON array, like a list of tags. AFAIK this method won't work for that; you'll either need to use FTS or a separate "tag" table that you index.
