Joke: Anthropic Says 'We Don't Ban Users, We Just Gaslight Them'

Recently, a user reported being mistakenly banned by Anthropic for using other models in testing harnesses. Anthropic officially clarified that they "don't ban people for using harnesses with other models," attributing the issue to an account classifier error.
Mocking this classic PR-style disclaimer, user Soumitra Shukla parodied their tone: "We don’t ban people. However, we’re quite comfortable gaslighting our users."
