Security researcher Moyix complains that Anthropic's safety filters are overly aggressive, downgrading requests to a much worse model experience. He half-jokingly suggests Anthropic offer a setting letting users drop down to an older Opus (4.6/4.7) when filtered, instead of being stuck with the "Worst Opus Ever" — echoing broader frustration about safety guardrails degrading everyday usage.
