> Especially when you can actively choose to not use Anthropic I think what all western AI labs want is to take away that ability from you.

Wait, so to get this straight, Anthropic knows: 1) LLMs are non-deterministic 2) This class of models has a particular tendency to "misbehave" 3) Their classifiers have a high rate of false positives 4) Millions of people give the

Get any model, any reasoning level, ask it to tackle a challenge, have it come up with a plan. Then ask it "are you sure? This feels wrong", and it will now think it's wrong. Do that again in a loop and you'll see how un

Also, aren't all Claude users in their own "organizations" in Anthropic's own terms?

They would still have to procure things that would (I hope) light up many screens before they're able to. And such numpties are probably already monitored, or in prison for some other stupid life decision. I also would like to hope tha

I think this really depends on what is interesting to you, personally. Something that you can have fun while doing, without breaking laws. For example, I'm a privacy nerd, so I like reverse engineering proprietary software to figure ou

Because your personal projects likely are not very complex and not high stakes. And you are not responsible to anyone but yourself. If you're working at a place where this is true about the the organization, then sure, that job will li

And if you're working on a live target, just put up local proxy and point it at a localhost.

Opus 4.8 (or a classifier in front of it) flagged my account and refused to comply when I told it to kill the process. Reasoning summary was complete bananas. With this in mind, I don't want model to be proactively instructed and enc

But Chinese models will poison your output if you ask them about Tiananmen Square! That's not good, so poisoning everyone's output without telling them is the only way to prevent that. Come on guys, why can't everyone just be

I'm not sure how the new guardrails work exactly, but I've read enough of reddit / Chinese communities focused on jailbreaking the models, to know that you either have to nerf it to the point where it fires even on "kill

That sounds like a harness issue to me.

It already is. But marketing is hell of a drug.

But how is this sustainable? It's not like paying $5000 per feature means you'll be refunded if prompting "make no mistakes" didn't work. The only reason why I pay $200 is because LLM's errors costs me that muc

Yeah, because it's impossible. You can't ask it anything about the thing that it's known for. It will not even answer a sky-high level question about reverse engineering, for example. In CC, it will probably report you to

You should check out some Chinese forums. There are services selling gateways/proxies for all major models at fraction of the official rates. Likely reselling subscriptions, or some other form of abuse. I've seen people posting sc

There's also a reality where China does develop Mythos-level model but stops releasing the weights. That reality is much scarier.

by gck1 4mo ago
And yet, that is completely uninteresting to their user base. If saner factory can sell you the same tool at a fraction of the cost of a gold plated factory, your choice is going to be obvious.
112.
by gck1 4mo ago
I can see that being true, and it very likely is true. But isn't infinite VC money and no incentives to optimize operations the reason behind that? Take a look at China for example - they have no access to NVIDIA, so they're tryin

I do, and it's called DeepSeek's pricing table. At the same time, "subscriptions are subsidized" cohort have no data whatsoever, and yet they're in every thread. Granted, it could still mean that Anthropic just choo

by gck1 4mo ago
Nothing is subsidized. Subscriptions are profitable for both Anthropic and OpenAI. Anthropic wanting to switch billing to API rates is them just wanting to generate more profit.

On refusals: I found that many models are fine with security work if they think what they're working on is local. They do get very pushy if they think it's a live target. GPT-5.5 xhigh refused to perform RE on a live JS VM. I had

No. Anthropic runs prompts through a classifier that then proceeds to do prompt injection on anything dual-use, which then results in an escalating flag on your account, which increases the strictness of the classifier and volume of prompt

My unraid server alerted me today that one of the 28TB HDDs is at 100% capacity. I bought that drive for $290, a year ago. Today, it costs $590. I'm at least happy I went for DDR4 RAM when I was building this server.

A lot of talk about cheaper models here. Just curios, is there any non-Anthropic model that can do UI well? GPT-5.5 is laughably bad, and I'm never restarting my Anthropic subscription after their 6-month sprint of gaslighting, even if
