Especially quite a lot of developers apparently are all in on using Claude for coding and people, in general, are so resistant to change they'll sell their souls rather than change what they've decided they like. These things have a tendency to somehow manage to get us too via ricochet so to speak.

as if we didn't already have way too many reasons not to use an LLM products already, requiring giving your data to someone as untrustworthy as persona is certainly another major reason to avoid this.
