This is honestly hilarious and I applaud the excellent use of Claude Code for the malicious compliance with their demands.
I wonder how this will be received. Since AI has come up, I think pro-union sentiment has been at a an all time high. How do you feel, HN?
Amazing. Next is automating this, automatically or manually gathering all domains they have registered, and spinning up Claude to register a similar domain and creating the counter website.
This is delightful. I know he's not paid to do this but I would gladly donate to this.

Unions destroy innovation and change in businesses. Look at how teachers unions fight against performance based pay and make it impossible to fire bad teachers. I love that cancer centers are resisting communism.
Innovation and change are not worth as much as providing a living wage to those who work for you. If you value nebulous innovation over the quality of life of real people, I don't know what to tell you.
Better get yourself a gun.
This is the spirit we need more of, good to see nerds causing a ruckus.

Huh, I've never seen this strategy before.

Notably, those questions aren't actually hypothetical.
It’s a close relative of the “I haven’t heard of that defense” by politicians who have definitely heard about said event in question.
