Anthropic is changing its usage limits — and its fanbase is already pointing fingers. In a post on X, the OpenAI rival announced that it's introducing new weekly rate limits to paid subscribers after it says a small handful of users abused their privileges and, essentially, ruined it for everyone else. "Claude Code has seen unprecedented demand, especially as part of our Max plans," Anthropic explained, referencing its highest subscription tier that runs $100 to $200 per month, depending on us

The Making of Dario Amodei

Dario Amodei doesn’t hesitate when I ask what’s gotten into him. The Anthropic CEO has spent 2025 at war, feuding with industry counterparts, members of the government, and the public’s perception of artificial intelligence. In recent months, he’s predicted that AI could soon eliminate 50% of entry-level, white-collar jobs. He’s railed against a ten-year AI regulation moratorium in the pages of the New York Times. And he’s called for semiconductor export controls to China, drawing a public rebu
