Well, they probably aren't permitted to smoke tobacco indoors.

I honestly fail to see even the irony. "Company that makes hammers doesn't want you to use hammers all the time". It's a tool.

But if I squint, I _can_ see a mean-spirited "haha, look at those hypocrites" coming from people who enjoy tearing others down for no particular reason.

But it's ok for Anthropic's marketing, sales and development teams to push to use case (AI for writing, communication and career development)?

Even when squinting I can't see a genuine argument for why Anthrpoic shouldn't be raked over the coals for their sheer hypocrisy

Do you have an example of the kind of marketing or sales push for communication use cases that you're implying exists? OpenAI totally does have a huge marketing arm, but Anthropic's home page doesn't make it look like they have a very large marketing or sales department at all—it looks like it was designed by the researchers themselves.

"Company that makes hammers for nailing wood together doesn't want candidates to use hammers during their wood-nailing test."

That makes no sense. It would rather be something like this, which actually makes sense:

> Company that makes hammers for nailing wood together doesn't want candidates to use hammers during their hammer-making test.

A brewery telling their employees to not drink the product while at work?

It'd be more analogous if it were a brewery telling interviewees not to drink during the interview

If only there were many jobs that mandate to drink alcohol to enhance your capabilities...
