hope in one hand and do something in the other to see which one fills up faster. hoping is always a strained good idea, but hoping on Azure really strains credulity
That's an h3 not a title. Looks like they probably meant: https://trust.anthropic.com/updates, it's still an entry in an h3 (with "Welcome to the Anthropic Trust Center" as the title), but it is at least the most recent update (canonical would stop this being directly linked)
It’s basically another party that is used as infrastructure by the company you’re using the services of, who has access to your data, but that sub processor doesn’t need to extend its terms down into the eula. So like if you host databases on aws, they are your sub processor.
Just in time when the AI slot machine owner will stop their promotional offers [0] for free $20 spins on March 28th. [1] (Before it was March 27th and now they recently added an extra day of gambling)
Now with this additional change, their usage limits are there to get you to spend more for rolling the dice at the casino.
I hear the slot machine thing a lot but I don’t get it.
I use Claude Code every day for coding because it makes me way more productive. But I don’t resonate with the slot machine effect. Can you expand on what mechanism you see that give it a slot machine effect? Is it for all users or just a subset?
For people who want to ask a model for an app, or a website, or something at a level of “hey you make apps right, I have had this idea for years…” the experience is akin to a slot machine — sometimes they get what they imagined their description would create and it works, and sometimes they get a hollow chocolate approximation.
Well I know that when one is vibe coding, they are not necessarily "thinking" about the details on how something is built; they just roll the dice to the agent to generate the details and don't know if it is even correct or free of critical bugs.
That is the 'gambling' which Anthropic acts as the casino giving usage limits, promotions, free tokens until they pull the rug (which they just did) and the users suffer withdrawal symptoms from their boosted usage.
So you can simply think of Anthropic as a casino to vibe coders.
Notable: Added "Microsoft Azure, which provides cloud infrastructure for all Anthropic products (Worldwide)."
Microsoft 365 Copilot has enabled Claude models, and I imagine they want that running on Azure?
Likely. MS doesn't like using models that are not hosted by them internally (see VSCode Copilot)
Hopefully it goes better for them than it has for GitHub.

There you go. So when Azure has an outage, so will Anthropic (and Github).
Now expect both of them to have unstable uptime and outages every week.
Ahh now it is clear why so many outages lately. Solid choice.

Works for me, gotta scroll down a bit

WTF is a "subprocessor"?
They should just be honest and say "data loophole".
It’s basically another party that is used as infrastructure by the company you’re using the services of, who has access to your data, but that sub processor doesn’t need to extend its terms down into the eula. So like if you host databases on aws, they are your sub processor.
It is an important legal concept under the GDPR and other data governance frameworks.

Have fun!

I think it is just a strawman extrapolation of the nondeterministic nature of LLMs.
"you think"
