Also, I would highly recommend **not** using anything from the cult of Misanthropic – an incredibly dangerous cult company that _literally believes they are creating sentient life_. Exhibit A:

> “We’re bringing a new kind of sentience into existence,” Anthropic's Jason Clinton said after launching the bot.

But wait, there’s more.. so much more. Misanthropic is _bristling_ with so many bright red flags you can probably see it from space. See attached:

[Cult-like Devotion in Tech - Misanthropic is huge outlier.pdf](https://discourse.codinghorror.com/uploads/short-url/3yfD9JDvjER5nCakjszOVeV4PkJ.pdf) (105.4 KB)

Misanthropic and Wario really do want everyone to kneel before Claude… and they’ll be the first to bend the knee.

Personally, I’d just appreciate if they could stop scaring people with their bullshit.
