I was tempted about applying but that part is everything but nice and I think I'll just pass

There's no non-disparagement clause, so how about you left them use your name etc, and then you can come out in public and say those mean things and shame/embarrass them.

Sure, but what I'm slightly worried about is people easily resolving my username to my real name. Maybe I worry too much, dunno

That's fair, but I think it's also not unreasonable for Anthropic to want some sort of "compensation" for giving something away for free (even if it's just a paltry 6-months, which screams "sales tactic"). The terms around getting free stuff sometimes have things that aren't compatible with something about how we do things, and that's fine; we just don't get to take advantage of the free stuff.

[TuxSH]

Yes, I agree.

It's just that I value the right to reveal my identity on my own terms a lot higher than $1200 (using my username and project name is fine). For the offer to become enticing they would need it to be 5~10y instead of 6mo, or to simply remove the $realname part of the "publicity" section
