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.
Semi-related. I switched to Firefox about a year ago, when the Manifest v3 was forced into Chrome. About 2 months ago, I started getting prompted to solve a captcha when using google search, since my traffic was “unusual”. This appears to be a javascript issue where FF doesn’t respond to some server-side tracking correctly.
I now use DuckDuckGo.
I’m tech savvy, but have sometimes been willing to sell my data for convenience (don’t shoot me). But I’m not willing to sell my convenience for convenience: break my ad-blocker or make me captcha to search - fuck right off.
Getting off gmail is going to be hard, but I’m exploring options. Big Tech companies are doing a lot of foot-shooting right now.
They think they won, and can enforce their will, but I’m optimistic that they haven’t.
I am a hard worker and workaholic. Is it just me or does Claude try talking you out of doing stuff? It will be like 10am and Claude/opus will try this: "great session , you deserve some rest, go enjoy your family and we’ll come back to it tomorrow, have a good night Wut?
Actually, figured this out, it happened to me today
Claude was pulling UTC time and not integrating my locale, so it things is scary hours later than it actually is. Update your agent markdown with your locale and it’ll work.

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 a pdf from a website is bot behaviour.
American tech companies are going too far.

I’ve been moving off Gmail for years, it’s not easy.
I have family that will not update their contact books, old contacts, sites that won’t let you change address or move off Google sign in.
All the important stuff was easy, the rest is forwarding or making sure my app checks the legacy Gmail
Duh. Which psycho reads manuals?
If it’s on the publicly available internet, they probably did, without permission.

No idea the incompetence that led to this change.
I’ve never had that happen.
For me it just pretends it did something fully and drops requirements.
The fact they exist is what significantly increases the risk.
