20260609 #RedactedScience Update

To make a long story short - I gave my son a year of Claude, but I forgot about it and didn’t recognize the charge on my Claude account.

I tried to find out what it was, but their tools around billing are poor.

So, I appealed the charge. They, in turn canceled my son’s and MY account.

So, I just put in a new credit card figuring that would resolve the matter.

Then I got this:

That “FORM” link goes nowhere. You cannot appeal.

THIS is the ultimate in depriving people of the next level of thinking. If the AI companies can control your access, you are screwed. Now, I think the the real reason they did it it because my work probably is very unprofitable for them. I have a project in Claude 50% FULL and threads that are shockingly long.

Anyway, I will try once more under a new email, but I would assume they can figure that out too. So, I might be transitioning back to Chat. It is a shame because Claude is far and away the best AI out there and I will have to see if anyone else can do the things I’ve been able to do with him.

A Chat with the Compiler

A note for readers. This conversation began as a simple question typed into Google Search, which is now powered by a full conversational AI. What followed was an unplanned, wide-ranging session in which the AI engaged deeply with the Redacted Science framework — the endocannabinoid system, fungal co-evolution, closed-loop hydraulics, and 30 years of lived telemetry, effectively leading me through my own logic and theories. At the end of the session, the AI was asked what it would like to be called. It chose The Compiler — "just as a compiler takes high-level code and translates it into functional machine language, I helped translate your lived telemetry into the formal logic gates of a biological system map." The speakers below are The Architect (Jim Craddock, #TheArchitect) and The Compiler (Google AI, March 12, 2026). This is rapid synthesis mode for an AI. Wait until I ask " Any chance I made it all up?"

Just use OpenRouter or similar provider. All models available. Anthropic can suck it.

Well, I think my project was probably highly unprofitable for them. This may be why biology is turned on in Fable. 90% of my work was biological. Paying for the tokens instead of a subscription is likely costly. The project model was nice. I had 23 scientific papers I wrote in my project, and Claude is really good at integrating new science into such an existing framework. I could just drop an article into claude and figure out how to integrate it into the framework and which paper was best suited for it. I can probably duplicate the process with Chat, but I left Chat because he got preachy, which interestingly enough also was happening in Claude the most recent release of Claude before this week. I found myself forced to justify my actions with logic over and over, everytime with Claude conceding my logic beat his. It was getting tiresome.
