Claude Mass Psychosis
If you or a loved one is suffering from Claude Mass Psychosis, you may be entitled to compensation.
Is Claude Mass Psychosis Affecting Your Home?
Symptoms of Claude Mass Psychosis include:
The uncontrollable need to tweet hourly about how Claude is “doing 100% of your work” while you sit in a dark room staring at a terminal.
An unhealthy obsession with Claude Code and the belief that a CLI is your new best friend.
The persistent, pseudo-philosophical urge to explain to anyone who will listen that Anthropic equity is actually just a call option on all future value within the light cone.
Running Claude overnight to build complex products that literally no one—not even your mom—is ever going to use.
Generating massive amounts of slopware that looks like an app but functions like a fever dream.
Asking Claude to “handle your inbox” and promptly getting phished by an attacker because the model thought a “Limited Time Offer” was a high-priority stakeholder.
Allowing Claude access to your iMessages, only for it to autonomously text every one of your ex-girlfriends pictures from your 2022 trip to Hawaii with the caption: “Thought you’d like to see these artifacts.”
If you or a loved one is suffering from one or many of these symptoms, you may be entitled to financial or emotional compensation. Contact 1-800-CLAWBAC to submit your claim today. Don’t let the LLM take your dignity along with your API credits.
In All Seriousness
I’ve been seeing a massive surge of Claude-related hype on X (Twitter) over the last few weeks—especially with the rise of CLAWDBOT and Claude Code. Curiosity finally got the better of me. Given the state of the market, I assumed most coding models had hit a plateau—they’re all basically the same, right?
But the discourse made it seem like Claude was different. People weren’t just calling it a helper; they were treating it like a magic tool that could autonomously submit PRs and ship perfect features while you slept.
That was anything but my experience.
Instead of “magic,” I found a deeply frustrating workflow. It was incredibly difficult to see the outputs being produced in real-time, reviewing code changes felt like a chore, and actually building something useful was an uphill battle. For people building real products, I don’t think Claude is that great of a tool. Maybe for someone building a small toy in their garage.
Why I’m Sticking with Cursor
While the “vibe coders” are letting Claude run wild in their terminals, I’ve found myself retreating back to Cursor for almost all of my actual engineering work.
For regular engineering, Cursor just feels better. It doesn’t try to be a “hands-off” agent that deletes your files when you aren’t looking; it stays in the flow of a standard development cycle.
Real-time Feedback: I can see exactly what is being changed as it happens.
Granular Review: Reviewing a diff in an IDE is infinitely more productive than squinting at terminal output or waiting for a bot to tell you it’s “finished.”
Velocity with Control: It makes me significantly faster without stripping away the “engineering” part of the job.
Claude might be the viral star of the moment, but for shipping real code to production, I’ll take the IDE over the psychosis any day.
