> So many "Look what my LLM did now" posts. Back in my day, we used to walk 15 miles up hill, BOTH WAYS, just to get to school...

well if the school was on top of the hill and you lived at the bottom you would need to walk up hill no matter which way you took, I'm guessing there was only two roads going up the hill though?

You could take a bike, an ebike, a car, or public transport nowadays. Not middle ages anymore

Blaming this on Claude is a bit of a reach. The user very carefully goading Claude seems to be key here.

Also interesting buried a bit: user creats a website. Cloudflare immediatly erects a toll gate on it, without even asking.

The 'BOTH WAYS' in the original stood for 'both walking to the school and walking back from school'. ;)

The user doesn't need to carefully goad Claude, they just need to send it to an attacker's website. The attacker is the one creating the link traversal merry-go-round.

I suppose if either end was actually a floating structure that moved with the tide...

that may be what was intended, but if so they should have written something like

"we used to walk 15 miles up hill, BOTH WAYS, just to get to school and back home", which approximates the way that joke is generally phrased, instead of "we used to walk 15 miles up hill, BOTH WAYS, just to get to school" ;)
