Their GitHub issues are wild; random people are posting the same useless "bug reports" over and over multiple times per minute.

Gives you a good window into a vibe coder's mentality. They do not care about anything except what they want to get done. If something is in the way, they will just try to brute force it until it works, not giving a duck if they are being an inconvenience to others. They're not aware of existing guidelines/conventions/social norms and they couldn't care less.

Wow are these submitted automatically by claude code? I'm not comfortable with the level of details they have (user's anthropic email, full path of the project they were working on, stack traces...)

and every single one of them checked "I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet"

It's wild that people check the box

> I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet

when the first 50 issues are about 500 error.

This is the kind of abuse that will cause them to just close GitHub issues.

Or they'll have to put something in the system prompt to handle this special case where it first checks for existing bugs and just upvotes it, rather than creating a new one.

I've made a feature request there to add another GitHub Actions bot to auto-close issues reporting errors like this when an outage is happening. Would definitely help to cut through the noise.

There has to be some sort of automation making these issues, to many of them are identical but posted by different people.

Also love how many have the “I searched for issues” checked which is clearly a lie.

Does Claude code make issue reports automatically? (And then how exactly would it be doing that if Anthropic was down when the use of LLM in the report is obvious )

That's what happens when people outsource their mental capacity to a machine

Github issues will be the real social network for AI agents, no humans allowed!

Goes to show that nobody reads error messages and it reminds me of this old blogpost:

> A kid knocks on my office door, complaining that he can't login. 'Have you forgotten your password?' I ask, but he insists he hasn't. 'What was the error message?' I ask, and he shrugs his shoulders. I follow him to the IT suite. I watch him type in his user-name and password. A message box opens up, but the kid clicks OK so quickly that I don't have time to read the message. He repeats this process three times, as if the computer will suddenly change its mind and allow him access to the network. On his third attempt I manage to get a glimpse of the message. I reach behind his computer and plug in the Ethernet cable. He can't use a computer.

Couldn't have happened to a better Repo, I needed that chuckle.

Thats exactly what they Anthropic deserves (btw they cant even get Anthropic on github lmao, this must be the biggest company having to run with wrong ID on github)
