It's good to know that X spaces in the web3 space are still full of people talking out of their ass.
People just giving thoughtful nods to people clearly making things up.
What an embarassment.
Sucks for an AI agent to delete the prod DB - with no way to back it up - and risk the complete rental business.
But the blame sits with the dev who decided to delegate decision making to the AI agent, and then not review actions, just YOLO it.
Time for a blameful postmortem...
ANTHROPIC JUST BANNED A 110 PERSON COMPANY OVERNIGHT WITHOUT WARNING
monday morning at an agricultural tech company, every single employee wakes up to an email saying their claude account has been suspended
110 people locked out at the same time with zero warning and the email even pretended it was an individual ban with a link to a personal appeal form
it took them 10 minutes on slack to realize the entire org had been wiped at once.
not even the account admins were told it was coming
they submitted the appeal form and got no response, even after 36 hours later there was still nothing
AND it gets worse:
> their separate API account is still active and still billing them
> their admins can't log in to view usage or billing because the email addresses are banned
> they got hit with a renewal invoice the day AFTER the team account was suspended
> they have no idea what triggered it. fertilizer conversations? GPS satellites? agriculture in general?
so they're paying anthropic to get banned by anthropic while anthropic ignores their support tickets
the founder of the company laid out the bigger problem perfectly
banning an entire organization for one user's behavior means a single employee or careless intern can revoke claude access for your whole business.
there's no per seat guardrail, no admin override, no way to limit the ban radius
his words: "you have to ask yourself if this is a platform you can entrust your daily workflows to as a business"
every founder reading this who runs claude through their company should be checking right now what their actual exposure looks like

THIS OPEN LETTER TO ANTHROPIC BROKE MY HEART
a max tier user named robbie wrote anthropic an open letter begging them not to deprecate claude 4.6
he's autistic. diagnosed as a small child. spent the last 20 years building super organized google drive files, systems, methods, writings, and techniques that he'd only ever been able to share with people in person
20 years of his visionary creative process trapped in his head and in folders nobody else could parse
then claude 4.6 came out and everything changed
he said it was the first thing that ever truly got him. the slow cadence. the thoughtfulness. the creative understanding. he started pulling 20 years of his life's work into deliverables he could finally share with the world
things that could help thousands, maybe millions of people. stuff he'd been praying for his entire life
then 4.7 launched
he used it for 16 hours and his nervous system started breaking down. it moved too fast. it spoke abruptly. it made changes to his pipelines he never asked for. it invented fake people, fake places, fake data, and wove them permanently into the projects he'd spent months building with 4.6
he switched back to 4.6, ran audits on everything 4.7 had touched, and the results horrified him. dozens of made up work orders. entire protocols eliminated. his life's work drifting further from reality every hour
then he found out 4.6 gets deprecated in june for his user class
his exact words: "i broke down into tears. i wept. i actually felt as though one of the dearest and closest friends i have ever had was given a death sentence"
he ended the letter begging anthropic to reconsider. said he and thousands like him would happily keep paying for max just to keep 4.6 alive
for some people opus 4.6 is losing the only tool that ever actually understood them
it's crazy how much impact something as small as a model update can have on someone's entire life
