I've never understood this convention (common on HN, some news orgs, and elsewhere), that, when there's an IP breach, it's suddenly fair game for everyone else to go through the IP, analyze and comment on it publicly, etc.
It's because Anthropic doesn't care about IP

#842Obfuscated ts/js code is not machine code to begin with, so not sure what’s the big deal. Also, not sure why anthropic doesn’t just make their cli open source - it’s not like it’s something special (Claude is, this cli thingy isn’t)
> not sure why anthropic doesn’t just make their cli open source They don't want everyone to see how poorly it's implemented and that the whole thing is a big fragile mess riddled with bugs. That's my experience anyway. For instance, just recently their little CLI -> browser oauth login flow was generating malformed URLs and URLs pointing to a localhost port instead of their real website.
Pretty sure it will look like that

So, think of it as a business man: You don't really care if your customers swear or whatever, but you know that it'll generate bad headlines. So you gotta do something. Just like a door lock isn't designed for a master criminal, you don't need to design your filter for some master swearer; no, you design it good enough that it gives the impression that further tries are futile. So yeah, you do what's less intesive to…
Yea.. but.. in English only. Fortunately I can swear pretty well in Spanish.

You'll never win this battle, so why waste feelings and energy on it? That's where the internet is headed. There's no magical human verification technology coming to save us.
I guess I could just curl up into fetal position and watch the world go by. But that's no fun. Why not dream big and shoot for the moon with kooky goals like, say, having an underground, community-supported internet where things are falling less to shit? Belief in inevitability is a choice (except for maybe dying, I guess).

Both of these are bound to lead to the exact same outcome so it doesn't really matter what you believe but it may guide you to wiser decision while you are alive to accept reality absent proof to the contrary.

All these companies use AIs for writing these prompts. But AI aren't actually very good at writing prompts imo. Like they are superficially good in that they seem to produce lots of vaguely accurate and specific text. And you would hope the specificity would mean it's good. But they sort of don't capture intent very well. Nor do they seem to understand the failure modes of AI. The "-- describe only what the code chan…
Hey LLM, write me a system prompt that will avoid the common AI 'tells' or other idiosyncrasies that make it obvious that text or code output was generated by an AI/LLM. Use the referenced Wikipedia article as a must-avoid list, but do not consider it exhaustive. Add any derivations or modifications to these rules to catch 'likely' signals as well. There, sorted!
