tl;dr: Dude thinks Anthropic is making claude worse on purpose to cut down on GPU usage and/or increase income. He recommends using Codex instead. This video should have been a text tweet.

I'm 3 minutes in and he has done an ad read and shown that Anthropic wasn't kidding about removing the ability for Claude to be used with OpenClaw without paying for additional usage.

And now he says he's going into his _actual_ problem with the service.

EDIT: I have fast forwarded to 8 minutes in an he is still going on about Open Claw. Apparently they have banned mention of open claw in the system prompts. And it can trigger your extra charges even if you're not _using_ Open Claw, just mentioning it.

EDIT 2: forwarded again. He went into something about his app and how he is concerned about whether his app will be allowed to continue doing this and that he would take Anthropic to court if that suddenly changed? But then he talks about how he likes using Claude for debugging misc issues outside of this app. Why did he bring the app up? And he is upset that Claude is telling him that it can't help him with random tech support questions like "Why is my dropbox icon not showing up in the MacOS menu?"

We're now 16:45 in and this is his personal _conspiracy theory_ about Anthropic doing this stuff specifically so it doesn't work for Open Claw.

This is a 24 minute rant that the tool he didn't understand before is now telling him he doesn't understand the tool and he should look elsewhere for specific answers.

But Codex did what he wanted. So okay. "All without opening a browser" -- I... have so many responses that are unkind. This isn't Anthropic burning dev good will. This is Anthropic being a capitalist company.

It's a Theo post, I see him and go oh I don't care / need his opinion on anything.

I am actually glad that YouTube now has Gemini integrated with a little popout section that I can just ask to summarize the video. Half the videos I pass by these days I prefer just a quick summarize and 30s read-through over a half-hour long video comprised of 90% useless fluff. Milk the ad revenue, I guess, but most of these videos could have been a tweet for all the content they actually contain.

This Theo can be safely ignored. He built his audience shilling for Next.js in hour long roundabout videos and now seemingly moved on to doing the same for whatever else is happening. A tech influencer.

Eh, I can only imagine this could get them in legal trouble in places that have actual consumer protections.
