I see they just decided to become even more useless than they already are.

Except for the ransomware thing, or phishing mail writing, most of the uses listed there seems legit to me and a strong reason to pay for AI.

One of these is exactly preparing with mock interviews which is something I myself do a lot, or having step by step instructions to implement things for my personal projects that are not even public facing and that I can't be arsed to learn because it's not my job.

Long life to Local LLMs I guess

Since they started using the term 'model welfare' in their blog I knew it would only be a downhill from there.

Which uses here look legit to you, specifically?

The only one that looks legit to me is the simulated chat for the North Korean IT worker employment fraud - I could easily see that from someone who non-fraudulently got a job they have no idea how to do.

Anthropic is by far the most annoying and self-righteous AI/LLM company. Despite stiff competition from OpenAI and Deepmind, it's not even close.

The most chill are Kimi and Deepseek, and incidentally also Facebook's AI group.

I wouldn't use any Anthropic product for free. I certainly wouldn't pay for it. There's nothing Claude does that others don't do just as well or better.

It's also why you wouldn't want to try to hack your own stuff. To see how robust are your defences and potentially discover angles you didn't consider.
