I have a buddy that works as a red team engineer for a large company, the models are becoming close to unusable for him now as everything he tries to do they start refusing after 2 or 3 requests because of the "security implications"

In natural selection, mutations which limit capabilities tend to make that branch go extinct.

There are six or seven unrelated mammals that evolved to depend on eating termites, including a marsupial, a monotreme, and a wolf. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is good advice, but nature will persistently try every bad strategy until it works out. Nature is a terrible role model.

It first gives you a page of ads, then a scraped version of the solution that steals content for ads, and then the amp version of the solution that doesnt work because js or what not.

How does Google steal content?

I didnt mean Google, but there are those we pages that, for example, scraped Stackoverflow.com just to provide the very same content

AI enables curious people to explore. Why do you say it kills curiosity? If anything, it's so recognizable with output I'd say it kills creativity.

Until you explore "too deep" and get your whole account banned for suspicious activity and permanently grief your whole career.

And with Anthropic introducing KYC requirements, this is essentially a lifetime ban.

Fun times.

Opus 4.7 refuses to work on the scraper that opus 4.6 wrote. I can assure you that my scraper is configured to be as polite and nice to the target as possible. It definitely is way nicer than any ANT/OAI scraper our there.

Curiously, the reason why I started using Claude about a year ago was that OAI models were refusing to answer even the most benign questions, which nobody but someone with paranoia consider a dual intent.

AI killed curiosity. At least Google made you search and look at alternatives, AI just gives you solutions, whether right or wrong. In a few years, the cognitive decline will be obvious. The only people who remain curious are the people who actively want to, despite AI, and most of the time against it. Our ability to keep digging into things is entirely tied to the will of the people controlling AI to let us do so. K…

Google killed curiosity. At least libraries made you search and read alternatives. Google just gives you solutions, whether right or wrong.

Lmao this is what I get for not including the “/s”

When we were transitioning away from card catalogs I heard similar complaints from my teachers. We all adapted.

What is the specific concrete purpose of downloading millions of URLs per hour across different domains if it's "not doing anything wrong"?

Might be it for scrapping content for training an LLM? Oh no only big tech allowed to do it...

"The gangsters do it and get away with it so any random person should get to as well"? Not a particularly defensible position if that's an accurate paraphrase.
