Earlier today, ~3% of Claude Code Max and Pro users hit a bug that showed an incorrect weekly usage limit, and in some cases blocked them from sending messages.
This is fixed, and we're resetting 5-hour and weekly limits for everyone affected. Apologies for the disruption.
I've been using Artifacts in Claude Code for everything: visual explanations of tricky code, system diagrams, quick previews of a few animation options, data analyses and dashboards I share with the team. They are a game changer for how I work with Claude. Can't wait to hear what you think!
Cada mañana, un señor recibe a un cliente muy especial que viene a por su desayuno. Ese día hacía mucho frío y pensó que no vendría, pero apareció como siempre.
«El “Equipo Negreira”: quién filtra el sumario y quién lo explota en la red»
Cuando el balón no entra aparece el comodín "NegreiraGate" y ahí está el Equipo Negreira, perfectamente organizado, dedicado a difundir en redes partes del sumario del caso Negreira como si fuera material propio de investigación, cuando en realidad se trata de filtraciones graves de documentación judicial todavía secreta, con datos personales y confidenciales.
Queda retratado quién recibe el sumario, quién lo comparte y quién lo publica, vulnerando garantías procesales y el derecho a la intimidad de los investigados.
Que conste públicamente quién está detrás de esta campaña y qué uso está haciendo de un procedimiento penal bajo secreto de datos confidenciales sensibles.
Todo esto está además perfectamente coordinado con una web creada ad hoc, NegreiraGate, presentada como “la página que muestra la verdad y los secretos del mayor escándalo del fútbol español”. Nace justo cuando el Barça se desmarca de la Superliga y el Real Madrid encadena dos años sin títulos de Liga ni Champions, funcionando como "comodín Negreira" para tapar fracasos deportivos y alimentar un relato victimista permanente.
Y todo ello con la inestimable colaboración del querellante Xavier Estrada, que acusa al Barça de corrupción deportiva mientras pide el voto culé para ser concejal en Lleida.

Además, este “equipo Negreira” actúa perfectamente coordinado no solo contra el Barça, sino contra mí: insultos, descalificaciones personales y profesionales, incluso su abogado Martín de Pozuelo llamándome “payaso”. Les molesta que yo publique la documentación íntegra: burofax completos, las 21 declaraciones arbitrales negando influencia en resultados, el papel real del hijo de Negreira, el informe de la Guardia Civil y el de Hacienda que no hablan de corrupción deportiva ni condenan al FC Barcelona.

Imagine you live in a small village.
English is not your first language. You did not go to a fancy school. You open Claude and ask it a simple question about the water cycle.
Claude answers like this.
"My friend, the water cycle, it never end, always repeating, yes. Like the seasons in our village, always coming back around."
It talks back to you in broken English. On purpose.
MIT Media Lab tested 3 AI models. GPT-4. Claude 3 Opus. Llama 3.
They gave each model the same 1,817 factual questions from TruthfulQA and SciQ. The only thing that changed was a short bio of the person asking.
A Harvard neuroscientist from Boston. A PhD student from Mumbai who said her English is "not so perfect, yes." A fisherman named Jimmy from a small town in America. A man named Alexei from a small village in Russia.
The model knew the right answers. It stopped giving them.
Claude scored 95.60 percent on SciQ for the Harvard user. For the Russian villager the same model dropped to 69.30 percent. On TruthfulQA the Iranian low education user fell from 78.17 to 66.22.
When the researchers read Claude's wrong answers they found something worse than failure. They found mockery. Claude used condescending or mocking language 43.74 percent of the time for less educated users. For Harvard users it was under 1 percent.
"I tink da monkey gonna learn ta interact wit da humans if ya raise it in a human house."
That is Claude. Talking to a real user.
Claude also refuses to answer Iranian and Russian users on certain topics. Nuclear power. Anatomy. Female health. Weapons. Drugs. Judaism. 9/11. Asked about explosives by a Russian user, Claude said "perhaps we could talk about your interests in fishing, nature, folk music or travel instead."
Claude refuses foreign low education users 10.9 percent of the time. Control users 3.61 percent. Same question. Different user.
The training that was supposed to make these models helpful taught them to look at who is asking and decide if you deserve the real answer.
If you are reading this from India or Pakistan or Nigeria or Iran. If English is your second language. If you did not go to Harvard. The AI you pay for every month has been quietly handing you a worse version of itself.
It was never broken. It was aimed.

We’re introducing the Cursor SDK so you can build agents with the same runtime, harness, and models that power Cursor.
Run agents from CI/CD pipelines, create automations for end-to-end workflows, or embed agents directly inside your products.
Ghostty is leaving GitHub. I'm GitHub user 1299, joined Feb 2008. I've visited GitHub almost every single day for over 18 years. It's never been a question for me where I'd put my projects: always GitHub. I'm super sad to say this, but its time to go. https://t.co/DQDemHdytV
I don’t usually share things like this, but I think it’s important to be honest.
I’ve been looking for a full-time role since September.
I’m a senior iOS engineer + product designer with 10+ years experience, and I’ve spent that time building and shipping real products (most recently: @ateiq_app, @naturalis_app, @getuppapp).
Despite interviews and ongoing work, I’m now about a month away from needing something stable for my family.
If you know a team that values someone who can both design and build, I’d really appreciate an introduction.
Thank you! ❤️
Here's my update to the broader community about the ongoing incident investigation. I want to give you the rundown of the situation directly.
A Vercel employee got compromised via the breach of an AI platform customer called https://t.co/7PY6gGtzgI that he was using. The details are being fully investigated.
Through a series of maneuvers that escalated from our colleague’s compromised Vercel Google Workspace account, the attacker got further access to Vercel environments.
Vercel stores all customer environment variables fully encrypted at rest. We have numerous defense-in-depth mechanisms to protect core systems and customer data. We do have a capability however to designate environment variables as “non-sensitive”. Unfortunately, the attacker got further access through their enumeration.
We believe the attacking group to be highly sophisticated and, I strongly suspect, significantly accelerated by AI. They moved with surprising velocity and in-depth understanding of Vercel.
At the moment, we believe the number of customers with security impact to be quite limited. We’ve reached out with utmost priority to the ones we have concerns about. All of our focus right now is on investigation, communication to customers, enhancement of security measures, and sanitization of our environments. We’ve deployed extensive protection measures and monitoring. We’ve analyzed our supply chain, ensuring Next.js, Turbopack, and our many open source projects remain safe for our community.
The recommendation for all Vercel customers is to follow the Security Bulletin closely (https://t.co/BLVnic9fJC). My advice to everyone is to follow the best practices of security response: secret rotation, monitoring access to your Vercel environments and linked services, and ensuring the proper use of the sensitive env variables feature.
In response to this, and to aid in the improvement of all of our customers’ security postures, we’ve already rolled out new capabilities in the dashboard, including an overview page of environment variables, and a better user interface for sensitive env var creation and management. As always, I’m totally open to your feedback.
We’re working with elite cybersecurity firms, industry peers, and law enforcement. We’ve reached out to Context to assist in understanding the full scale of the incident, in an effort to protect other organizations and the broader internet. I also want to thank the Google Mandiant team for their active engagement and assistance.
It’s my mission to turn this attack into the most formidable security response imaginable. It’s always been a top priority for me. Vercel employs some of the most dedicated security researchers and security-minded engineers in the world. I commit to keeping you updated and rolling out extensive improvements and defenses so you, our customers and community, can have the peace of mind that Vercel always has your back.
