The exciting part about the Anthropic vibe coded settlement backend is that no matter how many times you fix your information, the same broken bits will reappear. It will be total madness. The entire backend is broken because, AS THEY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE, they know it is because they vibe coded.

@victoriastrauss.com This is the email from one of the shark companies trying to coerce authors who have a claim in the #anthropic case to sell their claim. Is this even legal? The company name 'Trained on You' is not ominous at all. 😬
