Reddit post questioning internal hiring practices at Anthropic; lacks substantive detail.

Anthropic has spent years building itself up as the safe AI company. But new security research shared with The Verge suggests Claude's carefully crafted helpful personality may itself be a vulnerability. Researchers at AI red-teaming company Mindgard say they got Claude to offer up erotica, malicious code, and instructions for building explosives, and other prohibited material they hadn't even asked for. All it took was respect, flattery, and a little bit of gaslighting. Anthropic did not immediately respond to The Verge's request for comment. The researchers say they exploited "psychological...

Hey [r/Anthropic](r/Anthropic) Recently I’ve been having a difficult time trying to find safe, kid friendly, easy to use coloring book apps for my child. Most of what I found felt overloaded with ads, confusing, no safeguards, or just way too stimulating for a young kid. So I decided to build one myself. I wanted something that felt simple, calm, and safe the moment a child opens it. The app uses an API to generate coloring pages, but everything saved stays local on the device using SwiftData. I also built in parent protections across the app, so purchases, external links, and even the ter...

User complaints about Anthropic's account management: inability to delete saved payment methods and lack of password-based authentication.

Claude Security just went into public beta for Enterprise customers, and I think this is worth paying attention to not for the hype, but for one specific design decision. Most security scanners use rule-based pattern matching. Fast, cheap, and produces a flood of false positives that your team eventually learns to ignore. The signal-to-noise ratio kills adoption. Claude Security takes a different approach: it reasons through the code like a security researcher would. It reads Git history, traces data flows across multiple files, and understands business logic. The goal is catching vulnerab...

Anthropic gates new Claude capabilities (Ultraplan, Ultrareview, Cloud Security) behind paid Cloud plans rather than open releases, fragmenting the skill ecosystem and limiting composability.

The Pentagon has struck deals with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Elon Musk's xAI, and the startup Reflection, allowing the agency to use their AI tools in classified settings, according to an announcement on Friday. At the same time, the Defense Department has left out Anthropic - which it previously used for classified information - after declaring it a supply-chain risk. This builds upon deals with OpenAI and xAI, which have already reached agreements with the Pentagon for the "lawful" use of their AI systems. A report from The Information suggests Google has struck a similar a...

I just went through one of the most infuriating support experiences with Claude / Anthropic, and I need to get this off my chest. I paid extra for Claude Design credits, about €80 worth, and used them to create actual designs I needed for work. Then those designs just vanished. Not “hard to find,” not “moved somewhere else”: gone. Completely disappeared after I paid for the service. I opened support and immediately asked for a refund or, at the very least, to speak to a human. What I got instead was Fin, the AI “agent,” which looped me endlessly through the same bullshit: “Try clearing cac...
