Cause of death: the autopsy

Anthropic rewrote its Usage Policy, in force 12 November, with new rules for high-risk uses. But the policy is short and free to read, a 'you comply' result would be legal advice, and the buyer is thin. Scored 16, under the bar of 18; kept as an internal check for the farm's own products.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
