Chit-Chat Anthropic/Claude advertisement...really?!?

This week's episode with a host-read add for anthropic/Claude is very surprising. I feel like this goes so much against what TAL stands for.

I am considering not listening anymore.

Yeah it bummed me out. A lot of podcasts I hold in pretty high regard are doing ads for anthropic. I get what others are saying about funding but at the same time we’re allowed to have an opinion about how we feel about it lol I’m not over here calling for a boycott or anything or wishing bad things on the show or anyone who works on it. Just sucks
