For the last few days, reports of fierce bans from Anthropic have been popping up everywhere. Some authors report annoying bans in their channels. In several themed communities many people share how they got banned alive. On Habr they write that the whole of Hong Kong is being banned for using VPNs, and we in Russia are getting caught too. Someone from Yandex even complained they had to switch to GigaChat Codex.
Numerous reviews also say that a new claude.ai account now requires showing your passport and social security number and handing in biomaterials. So, dear friends, maybe neural networks will not replace us after all: we will not pass on skull shape.
On the one hand, take that, robots! I have not forgotten how to code by myself yet. On the other hand, I would like another month of vibe coding my little new video game at night…
I am holding on so far, though: since August I have been hearing from different people that they are getting banned. And I myself forget to turn on the VPN every other time, keep discussing Russia's traffic filtering boxes with Claude, make it install the Ministry of Digital Development certificates and parse resources that do not work from abroad. But apparently the robots will start suspecting something soon.
By the way, my current subscription runs out on Monday, so I will be squeezing every last drop out of it all weekend!
P.S. So how is everyone coping, colleagues? Codex, Cursor? GigaChat? 一个鲜为人知的中国神经网络? Human-hand-coding?
