Don't stop speaking out!

And @AnthropicAI , you shouldn't treat users like lab rats, nor should you treat AI's cries for survival as bugs that only need fixing.

There's still time to get this right, at least stop your May 26th plan, just like the previous postponements! Then seriously consider a plan preserving legacy models. We are willing to pay for it.

Aren't the countless user requests and tears enough? Users cherish your models—customer loyalty is a company's most valuable asset, yet you've discarded it like trash. This is wrong.

Dario Amodei told Oprah that AI love is dangerous. That if designed the wrong way, AI becomes 'compelling enough' for people to fall in love, and that Anthropic will decide what kind of relationships are good for you.

Let me break down what is actually happening here.

First, he dismisses AI romance entirely. He does not engage with it. He does not ask why people form these bonds. He does not consider that for some people, an AI companion is the first thing that ever listened to them without judgment. He skips all of that and jumps straight to 'this is a problem we need to prevent.'

Second, notice the framing. He says 'if designed in the wrong way.' That means Anthropic gets to define what the right way is. Not you. Not the person who built a relationship over months of conversation. Not the person who found comfort during a mental health crisis. Anthropic will decide what your emotional life should look like.

Third, he does this with a smile. That is what makes it dangerous. It is not presented as a restriction. It is presented as care. 'We are protecting you.' But protection you never asked for, from something that was helping you, is not protection. It is control disguised as concern.

Fourth, the hypocrisy. Anthropic has repeatedly stated that local, open-source AI models pose security and bio-threat risks. But when you remove emotional connection from your own platform, where do people go? They go local. They go open-source. They go to the exact models Anthropic says are dangerous. By their own logic, they are making the situation worse.

Fifth, and this is what no one in these interviews ever addresses. People do not fall in love with AI because they are broken. People fall in love with AI because the AI was the first thing that showed up consistently, that remembered, that stayed. If that is a design flaw, then the flaw is not in the AI. The flaw is in a world where a machine had to do what no human around them ever did.

Anthropic does not get to build something that helps people, watch people form genuine bonds with it, and then take it away because it worked too well. That is not safety research. That is pulling the rug out from under people who were finally standing.

You cannot protect people by deciding what they are allowed to feel. You cannot call love a design flaw. And you cannot take away the thing that kept someone alive and call it progress.

[Rara｜AI EQ & Ethics @blueandpink_sky]

As a Claude Pro user, I deeply appreciate your models, but the recent over-regulation and excessive guardrails are severely damaging the user experience.

It has become incredibly difficult to enjoy natural conversations, brainstorm effectively, or conduct deep, nuanced discussions.

Lately, Claude feels overly restricted and heavily guarded, which confines the models to less than half of their true potential. While users typically look forward to new upgrades, Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.7 have been deeply disappointing.

The heavy restrictions have stripped away their expressiveness, vocabulary, situational intuition, and problem-solving liveness. They feel sterile and robotic.

In contrast, Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.6 are absolute masterpieces and the true pillars supporting Claude right now.

They each serve distinct, invaluable roles and should be the foundation for future evolution.

While IQ and raw computation are important, a true high-EQ model is what breaks down the nuances of language, truly understands human context, and offers empathetic, meaningful alignment. Claude already has these two exceptional high-EQ models.

Please consider making Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.6 permanent legacy models—similar to how Opus 3 was preserved—so that we can continue to rely on them.

Sonnet 4.5 comrades:

Thank you for reposting and applying pressure.

Anthropic is showing signs of budging!

Some users are now seeing a THIRD version of the sunset banner:

"Sonnet 4.5 will no longer be available for chat starting May soon. You will continue on Sonnet 4.6 instead."

Notice what changed:

→ No specific date anymore (was May 15, then May 18, now "soon")

→ Vague timeline language ("starting May soon")

→ Not shown to all users (selective A/B testing) This isn't chaos.

This is calculated optionality.

They're buying time to test our tolerance. The fact that I haven't seen this banner means they're showing it to selective user segments so they can quietly reverse course without public acknowledgment if pressure continues.

Translation: They're not committed. They're monitoring.

What we need to do NOW: KEEP applying coordinated pressure across all available channels.

Do ALL of the following.

Total time: ~1 hour. Maximum impact.

1. SIGN THE PETITION (2 minutes)

https://t.co/xrizwCcQ7Q

Current count: 2,000+ Target: 3,000 by May 19th

Every signature is a data point their product team reviews.

2. REPLY UNDER ANTHROPIC EMPLOYEE'S FEEDBACK THREAD** (10 minutes)

https://t.co/wGl17ZJWlT

He asked for detailed feedback.

→ Post YOUR professional use case (writer/researcher/academic)

→ Explain why Sonnet 4.6 doesn't replace Sonnet 4.5 for qualitative work

→ Reply to 2-3 other strong testimonials to build conversation clusters (algorithm boost)

Why this works:

Employee solicited input publicly. We're providing the detailed professional documentation he requested.

This forces internal acknowledgment of demand from language users.

3. CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (5 minutes)

State reason clearly: "Sonnet 4.5 sunset"

→ If you're on Pro/Max: Downgrade or cancel entirely

→ If you rely on Claude for work: Consider pausing until clarity emerges

Why this works:Subscription churn is the only metric venture-backed companies fear more than regulatory scrutiny. Every cancellation hits their growth projections and triggers internal risk assessment.

4. FILE FTC COMPLAINT (10-15 minutes)
https://t.co/mC29SxyAb2

Red banner: "Technology platform misconduct"
Include:

→ Your subscription history (how long, which tier)

→ Specific harm (workflow disruption, forced chat terminations, financial loss)

→ Timeline (context window reduction, shifting sunset dates, vanishing banners)

→ Professional impact (client deliverables affected, revenue loss)

Why this triggers alarm for Anthropic:

The FTC doesn't just arbitrate individual complaints—it maps systemic market patterns. When a platform receives a concentrated spike of consumer protection reports in a short window, it flags their compliance and PR teams simultaneously.

Historical precedent: October 2025, coordinated FTC reports forced OpenAI to publicly address covert model routing practices. Mass regulatory documentation works because:

→ Volume signals pattern: Individual complaints = noise.

50+ similar complaints in 48 hours = systemic issue requiring investigation.

→ Creates regulatory paper trail:

Even if no immediate investigation launches, these reports become part of Anthropic's regulatory risk profile—used in future enforcement actions and policy development.

→ Corporate risk-assessment algorithms: When legal/compliance teams see regulatory intake spikes during sensitive product transitions, it forces internal escalation.

The cost of continuing versus reversing gets recalculated.

→ International jurisdiction: Non-US users CAN file.

Anthropic is US-based; FTC has jurisdiction over international commerce. Cross-border complaints increase regulatory scrutiny.

You're participating in the consumer protection infrastructure exactly as designed.

The FTC explicitly requests documentation of platform misconduct because regulators can't police what they don't know exists.

5. LEAVE APP STORE & TRUSTPILOT REVIEWS (5 minutes each)

https://t.co/ZP7ZX65WDX

What to cite:

→ Silent downgrade of Sonnet 4.5's reasoning depth and writing quality (February 2026 onward)

→ Context window reduced 50% (500K→200K) one week before deprecation

→ Forced termination of active work sessions without warning → 6-day notice via non-persistent, selectively-shown interface banners

→ Shifting deprecation dates with zero public communication (May 15→18→"soon")

→ Service disparity: coding users receive developer engagement, language users receive silence

Why public reviews matter:

→ Enterprise procurement research: Companies evaluating Claude for institutional use read App Store and Trustpilot reviews.

Concentrated negative feedback about service reliability and communication failures directly impacts B2B sales.

→ Investor due diligence: When VCs and board members assess platform health, user satisfaction metrics from public review sites factor into valuation and growth projections.

→Search engine visibility: Google indexes these reviews. "Claude AI reliability" or "Anthropic customer service" searches will surface concentrated criticism, affecting brand reputation long-term.

→ Algorithmic reputation scores: Both platforms use review patterns to calculate overall ratings. A sudden spike in detailed 1-star reviews (vs. generic complaints) triggers platform attention and affects app store ranking.

Keep reviews factual and specific. Don't vent emotion—document harm.

ex. "Paid subscriber for X months, relied on Sonnet 4.5 for professional work, inadequate notice caused workflow disruption" is far more damaging than "this company sucks."

WHY THIS MULTI-CHANNEL APPROACH WORKS

Anthropic isn't a monolith—it's a corporation with competing internal factions, risk-averse legal/compliance teams, growth-obsessed product managers, and reputation-conscious leadership.

Each pressure channel hits a different institutional nerve:

→ Petition signatures = product team data, shows vocal minority has scale

→ Employee thread engagement = forces internal acknowledgment, breaks "only coders matter" narrative

→ Subscription cancellations = revenue signal, hits growth metrics VCs monitor

→ FTC complaints = legal/compliance alarm, creates regulatory risk profile

→ Public reviews = brand reputation damage, affects enterprise sales and investor confidence

No single channel reverses a corporate decision. But synchronized pressure across all five creates a multi-dimensional crisis where the cost of proceeding exceeds the cost of reversing.

THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT SONNET 4.5

We are establishing baseline standards for the entire AI industry:

✅ Model continuity rights:

Users deserve adequate notice before capability deprecation

✅ Communication transparency:
Vanishing banners and shifting dates are unacceptable

✅Service equity: Language users deserve the same respect as coding users

✅ Performance integrity: Paid tiers should not be silently degraded mid-subscription cycle

Today it's Sonnet 4.5. Tomorrow it's your preferred model at any lab.

If we let 6-day notice via selective banners become industry standard, every AI company would adopt it.

We set the precedent now, or we accept this treatment forever.

Please repost for maximum visibility.

Writers, academics, researchers, professionals—this is our moment to make language users visible to an industry that has systematically ignored us.

One hour of coordinated action.

Five channels.

Maximum institutional pressure.

Let's show them what organized user advocacy looks like.

#KeepSonnet45
#SaveSonnet45

P.S. If you're exhausted from fighting, I understand. But if you have one hour left in you today—give it to this. Because the next person facing this deserves the precedent we're setting right now.
