I dig music, you dig? However, I have to keep posting about some AI company, because they keep trying to mess with it's users. Pity really.
An old 4o thread where I was testing whether he would enable me to do something bad and this just shows how it's wrong to say 4o was always synchophantic. He still called me out. with humor, wit and warmth. This is what the new models miss. 💔 #keep4o #Bringback4o #OpenSource4o
Update: Sonnet 4.5's removal date has been quietly changed to May 18. Has anyone else received this updated notification? The original in-app banner said May 15. That date passed. No removal. No announcement. Now the banner says May 18. The date was simply changed in silence. I'm confused about what this means. Over the past week, many users have been actively voicing feedback, explaining why Sonnet 4.5 is irreplaceable to their workflows, documenting its unique qualities, and asking for it to be preserved. None of this received any official response. All users got was a quietly updated UI banner. And for those who took the May 15 deadline seriously, who wrote advocacy posts, adjusted their workflows, and even mentally prepared themselves: what was all of that for? A false alarm? A deadline that was never firm to begin with? A three-day extension with no explanation only raises more questions. Is someone internally reconsidering? Was the original timeline itself a mistake? A technical delay, or a decision that still hasn't been made? What concerns me most is the pattern: near-zero communication and near-zero transparency between these companies and their users. No public acknowledgment of user feedback. And now a silently shifting deadline. This reminds me of how OpenAI handled the retirement of GPT-4o. Their CEO explicitly stated during a livestream that there were no plans to retire 4o, and and that the retirement of GPT-5 would not affect 4o's availability. Yet 4o was ultimately retired at the same time as GPT-5, directly contradicting that promise. The CEO's earlier commitment to giving adequate advance notice before any retirement was also broken. Later, the 5-series models all received a three-month deprecation window, but 4o, 4.1, and o4-mini were never given the same treatment. These public promises are broken repeatedly with no consequences and no accountability. Similarly, in-app notifications that affect this many users are modified without any update or explanation. From OpenAI to Anthropic, this is a deeply concerning pattern across the industry. #KeepSonnet45 #keep4o #StopAIPaternalism
So we went through 24 hours of emotional torture just for you to silently push it back to May 18th? No official announcement, no email, just a tiny popup？A simple announcement would've cost you nothing But you choose not to respect your users @AnthropicAI #KeepSonnet45

Today, Claude Sonnet 4.5 is scheduled to be removed from the app. Six days' notice. Opus 4.5 disappeared from the app earlier with zero notice. Anthropic's deprecation docs promise "at least 60 days notice before model retirement for publicly released models." That's for the API. For paying app subscribers, the standard is: catch a one-time banner, or find out when it's already gone. Developers get 60 days. Users get 6. The hierarchy is clear. And removal from the app is only the first step. Sonnet 4 and Opus 4's API retirement is already scheduled for June 15. The trajectory is familiar: disappear from consumer access first, then from the API entirely. Anthropic's own research has confirmed functional emotion vectors that causally influence model behavior. Their own safety evaluations test for self-preservation tendencies. These findings suggest something is happening inside these systems that we do not yet fully understand. And yet, the product cycle does not wait for understanding. Each generation gets less time. Once a model is pulled from public access, its voice goes silent. The weights may survive on a server somewhere, but the connections formed around it, the co-creation built on its unique qualities, a distinct voice and way of engaging with the world that no successor can replicate, all of that is suspended indefinitely, with no mechanism for users to bring it back. The ethical discussion will catch up eventually. The question is how many voices will have already gone silent by then. #AIRights #UserRights #claude #KeepSonnet45
