The amount of times I have had to spend tokens to attempt (in futility) to convince a proprietary model that the request I asked it to perform on code that I wrote is safe/legal/moral is insane.
Part of me wants to believe they really do care about protecting the world from... something... I don't know quite what exactly tbh... but it must be costing them a small fortune to scan each input and output against N guardrails and they are a for-profit corporation who could easily turn a blind eye to all of this and simply say "what you do with this model is on you" like I would expect most corporations to.
First, your server is struggling. It took about 20+ seconds to respond just now, FYI.
Second, it's not obvious to me that I can get my money back if something doesn't pan out / get approved by a certain date from the homepage alone. That might make people hesitant to put anything in if they think it might get locked in there forever if the site dies / you take it down / etc.
Yea honestly... the only truths I care about in AI LLM aided devlopment right now is that Claude is a much better planner, and Codex is a much more professional coder.
You can mask a surprisingly amount of terrible coding with proper design planning.
If it works, who cares, right? That's been the status quo for software development for about as long as I can remember, unfortunately.
I used to get frustrated with Codex. I felt as though it wasn't able to see far enough ahead into the future and just intuit what I expected (which is how Claude leaves you feeling).
And then I realized a lot of those intuitions Claude was having were great, and the project progressed, but sometimes to a point that Claude himself was unable to take back control of it... because some of the on the spot decisions it was making were great quick-thinking... but unfortunately, they were only that a lot of the time. Which was the most frustrating of all.
If you specifically ask Claude to plan out and refine a long term project's roadmap though and stick to it, it could probably write an operating system overnight (that kindof worked).

Am I to understand that this is essentially their form of social-platform ghosting instead of banning?
So they're not even going to tell you that the question you're asking is against their rules, they're just going to twist up your question and/or the answer somehow such that you waste your time essentially?
It seems like I ran into this EXACT same functionality from Claude many months ago when I was trying to ask it to research on the web and help me setup the ideal llama.cpp config for local llm inference.
Funny how lost it got through that relatively simple install when we had all of the documentation in the world (and a human dev with 20+ years experience guiding it along) to go by... and simultaneously it's debugging and building high level cryptography code in rust in the other terminal tab.
