My how fast the AI tech bros move to protect corporations but don’t move to protect the average coder, artists, writers.

    Yeah, I tried asking it how to flash a modded tv webOS and it flagged the chat.

    I asked it to fuzz my own code (a jwt integration) and it flagged the chat. There was an unbounded buffer that could have been exploited, but it’s happy to hide that since I’m not a large corpo.

    Honestly the shit Claude does is unusable anymore. It’s developed a habit of dropping requirements when problems are hard now.

    ETA: Chinese models and Mistral were happy to help. I discovered I could use eMuhdra against an iot device in my house that way, I found various input errors, these things have improved my security so much more than they create risks.

      I work with embedded devices that use canbus. Last week it was happy to read the manufacturer’s published .DCF files for a couple of joystick panel interface boards. Not anymore, conversation flagged and halted any time I get near them.

      Claude. You can download these files from the manufacturer’s website. They only describe how analog and digital inputs get converted into canbus packets. I am not trying to hack Adobe here. Nope.

      Oh well, DeepSeek, Mistral, GLM, Beam et. al. are all happy to read these files and continue work on the project. Anthropic’s usefulness to me has ended, it was nice while it lasted.

        That reminds one, my dishwasher leaked so I went to download the manual from the manufacturer.

        That got me a ban from Cloudflare. Apparently downloading off from a website is bot behaviour.

        American tech companies are going too far.
