We all get the "realpolitik" of it. That doesn't mean anthropic just gets to ignore the contract they signed. Well it does as long as you're fighting the fight for them before it even gets to anthropic.

I strongly dislike all of these companies (and the people who run them), and I don't love LLMs in general, although I use them every day because they are useful for my job.

But the simple fact is, if you're paying $20/mo and using $200/mo of tokens, that is not going to last forever.

The only way to make it last a bit longer for the people with relatively sane usage patterns is to try and stop people absolutely taking the piss
