Let me get this straight: a few times per month, someone posts horror stories about how Claude led to losing data and money.

Anthropic's response: let's make a nice package out of this, and let's target specifically the businesses that are less likely to be ready to manage such horrible events.

The reality is, for a lot of people, they do not care about risk or implication or cost, as so long as they see things moving forward, especially if they do not understand what they are dealing with. The desire of 'build, build, build', to these people does not have a downside because they do not have the knowledge of what the implications of that actually means nor is there a culture associated with the duty of care that should come with the liability associated with other people's data.

Also, small business contracts likely do not have the same type of language around indemnity/SLAs, so it is easier for the harms of this type of system to go unpunished because those who are harmed are even less knowledgeable.

This is such an excellent summary of everything wrong with Silicon Valley's current ethos.

'Move fast and break things' has been a core ethos for so long that many have forgotten that moving and breaking without an end or a point just leads to a lot wreckage and nothing to show from it, since someone else moves fast and breaks what you just did.

No one is asking why we are doing all of this, just some vague hand waving that it is inevitable, predetermined, as if we are not taking actions that are leading to these outcomes, that we do not have agency. But if we all tell ourselves that the future is predetermined, that this was always going to happen, then we do not have to own the outcomes.

For alot of people who preached radical ownership within the product, they are not willing to take radical ownership of the product externally besides profit.

"someone..." with enough social media weight that is.

It's just like getting Google support.
