alt Hacker NewsAnthropic are masters in marketing to make people think they’re here to do good. A few weeks ago, they got great visibility on HN promising Claude Max 20x accounts to people who are active in open source repositories with at least 5k stars on GitHub [1]. My main project [2] has more than double the minimum requirements, and I’m still waiting.

Humans are complex. It's possible for someone to want to do good and at the same time want to promote/market their product and make a profit. I don't see a contradiction there.

I just checked your projects, it looks just like something I was looking for. And I hope in a few weeks the guys from Anthropic will give you what they promised.
However, since we're frank here, I'd say I'll download the most recent release and be very careful about upgrading because I don't put much trust in projects co-created with LLMs. I know there is a full spectrum but I've seen enough and I don't have the resources to check where on the spectrum your project ends up. LLMs are a powerful drug and terribly hard to stop once you start.
