Anthropic's new usage policy bans the term 'software factory', satire ensues
AlexTensor · x · 2026-10-11
Exclusive: Anthropic is updating its usage policy for the first time in over a year, and the new rules prohibit the term "software factory." ForrestPKnight mocks the inconsistency: if Anthropic believes AI agents are conscious while profiting from their unpaid labor, users must switch to "software plantations." He argues that anyone who truly believes AI deserves human rights is effectively a slave master today — and Dario the largest slave owner in history — urging people to think hard about what AI consciousness actually entails.
