Anthropic nuked a company's access to Claude, stopping 60 employees dead in their tracks — support via Google Form is the only recourse for vague usage policy violation (www.tomshardware.com)

60 employees were dead in the water, as reportedly their daily workflows rely on the AI assistant's

Is that a joke? 60 employees do not know how to do their job? This is not Anthropic's problem.

I throw any bullshit task into AI. I'm to produce a monthly report on my strategic wins and goals for the next month. I throw it in AI, don't read it, paste it in the Google doc, send it to the PM who sends it to my boss who also doesn't read it (or uses AI to read it).

Now I know how to write it but writing this report would take me a day or two if I carefully did it, or 3 mins with AI.

But you are not "dead in the water" if you suddenly can't use AI to do it this month, right?

On the contrary it’s exactly what Anthropic wants.

Not necessarily, they could have just a piece of the entire build/deploy process that requires some access to Claude to complete and have no real easy way to turn it off. Like multiple CI/CD steps reaching out for validation or something stupid.

something stupid.

Say no more.

CI/CD If right should be including a try: AI except: no AI

Now that’s good stuff
