I don't think they're trying to spin this as Anthropic being compromised, but I do think they're correct in saying this is Anthropic's problem to deal with now, regardless of the fact that they're not responsible for the root cause.

One thing to note about melatonin is there’s little consistency between the dosage listed on the bottle and the actual dose. Not a problem if it works for you but just something to be aware of, more info on the second heading here [0] if you’re interested

I’m in a similar situation and agree with everything you’ve said. Although I enjoy the ritual aspect of weed I’ve also found that I enjoy the actual effects far less than I used to, and when I take a few weeks off I don’t really miss it.

The worst part is the 3-4 days after quitting falling asleep becomes quite difficult so I need to make a point to go on long runs/bike rides to fall asleep easier

I’ve only started to notice this in the past year or so, it’s a bizarre feeling compared to just a normal hangover. Certainly dissuades me from drinking too much now.

Dr. Cook was probably my favorite professor I've had here at UT. I had the opportunity to learn functional programming from him in both Haskell and Agda through the two PL classes he taught here. May he Rest In Peace.
