Can confirm it is also useless for building tools defending against reverse engineering work (unless asked to do code review for some reason?)

Ironically making a stink about it online is likely to have a larger impact then using their dedicated feedback or support channels (which go to claude, not a person)

the feedback is for something mindless though, "we don't care about societal harms". I wonder the overlap between these commenters and tech maga people, eg crypto bros & Elon stans.

In this case, no overlap between me and tech maga / crypto bro / elon stan.

It has about the same problems with finding content that the www has, its just in the earlier stages

This has nothing to do with enshittification.

This is superb. Thanks for sharing!


Try blackbox, its a puzzle game that will have you messing with device settings to beat levels



Its already happening, some of my friends have (seemingly) inherited LLM verbal tics, specifically overuse of the word "highlight."


Im in the community reverse engineering web CAPTCHAs, it's because they are too easy to reverse engineer with Claude now.

I've seen multiple people break botguard (the obfuscation used by recapcha) within the last year when before it was considered a huge technical envour.

Devices like phones don't have this issue since Google owns the client attestation end to end and can fingerprint you without the risk of receiving spoofed values.


I've been working on my own misaligned model and grok is definitely different enough with a syspronpt compared to all the other frontier models that I've considered using it to generate synthetic training data, however it leans really heavy into LLMisms which makes it not really worth it. Tangentially I also really like the idea of llms as librarians they are trying out with grokapedia.


There was an old game called cursors.io which was the same concept but collaboratively traversing a maze where you would sometimes have to leave other players behind to reach the next level


I opened this thread expecting a bunch of "kids these days..." posts, kind of surprised not to see any. People have been raising themselves up by putting down other generations since the very first I assume, the temptation towards the fallacy of composition is too irresistible.
