Developers are trading tricks to stop Anthropic's Claude from answering simple questions with piles of unrequested code. The common gripe is that Claude is strong at coding but too eager with it, often shipping a full implementation even when someone asks something basic like "How does this algorithm work?"
Anthropic's most capable publicly available AI model went dark on June 12, three days after launch. The US government ordered it offline over national security concerns. A jailbreak was involved, and Amazon played a role most people did not expect. Developers who had spent the week building on it woke up to find it gone, with no advance warning and no clear timeline for return. For 19 days, the most powerful AI model available to the public simply did not exist.

It's something more fundamental: the fact that work now keeps running in the cloud after your laptop closes and you walk away from your desk entirely.
