I wish I had half as much trust with someone as anthropic has with that company to let them casually rack up 500M in use.

They practically own that company. Maybe it's their goal to have lots of big companies massively indebted to them?

I wonder if you can get it to auto run if you stick it on a USB and let someone find it...

Nah. If your employer is demanding that you use AI and measuring your performance by how much AI you use -- absolutely use this. Leave it running at all times.
