claude.ai + vercel and you can do it all without anything but your phone

their web interface lets you use Claude code and push changes to a GitHub repository

vercel can auto build from a GitHub repo

even less setup and infrastructure needed

for example I think feature length films that YouTube sells (or rents) already use this encryption.

exactly. the only people who would use 3.5 now are people who MUST use it due to some specification, contract or requirement.

You can charge a premium to people who aren't allowed to change their mind.

The difference is that if you text a random person it's likely that they recently ordered something online.

the timing of the text makes it more believable.

Ah that makes more sense! Thank you for clarifying.

For me, In the past ChatGPT has refused to access URLs directly, but it's willing to search them on Bing and then access them indirectly

Edited: Simon made a good point that exfiltration can happen via hidding prompt injection attacks in 3rd party websites. (See his reply below).

This has broader implications than Custom GPTs

Yeah this seems overblown. Custom GPTs can already make requests via function calls / tools to 3rd party services.

The only difference I see here, is the UI shows you when a function call happens, but even that is easy to obscure behind a 'reasonable sounding' label.

The expectation should be: If I'm using a 3rd party's GPT, they can see all the data I input.

This is the same as any mobile app on a phone, or any website you visit.

The only real 'line' here in a cultural sense might be offline software or tools that you don't expect to connect to the web at all for their functionality.
