In online communities right now there’s a lot of demand for evidence of LLM capabilities being overblown. It’s unfortunate that even if the steal my bitcoin creator apologizes for spreading misinformation due to incompetence, the truth won’t be spread as widely.

How is a bug that was patched six years ago causing RCE today? Not sure your link is correct.

You also need to be able to type on a keyboard or speak to the AI to prompt it. That’s a skill too.

This is a motte and bailey fallacy. I don’t think many people take issue with feeding the hungry. However the longtermist sect and their idea that enriching yourself as much as people so you can do more good later leads to the actual controversial actions especially when taken to its logical extremes. And the AI fanaticism got mixed in there somehow.

Maybe I’m just naive but this breakdown signals a shocking lack of due diligence from anthropic. Did they put any effort into verifying these alleged bugs before sending them to maintainers?

Everything is a conspiracy. The elites refuse to wave their increase-manufacturing-capacity-instantly wands.

There's 600 photos and one 500 MB video. It seems like they are being served directly from the owner's Apache server from response headers. Server could be overloaded?

It’s a gambling site. The motivation behind it is to make money through transaction fees. You can bet on sports games too.

New comment by kylestanfield in "Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives"

kylestanfield — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 16:44:17 +0000

Perplexity claims that you can “use the following robots.txt tags to manage how their sites and content interact with Perplexity.” https://docs.perplexity.ai/guides/bots

Their fetcher (not crawler) has user agent Perplexity-User. Since the fetching is user-requested, it ignores robots.txt . In the article, it discusses how blocking the “Perplexity-User” user agent doesn’t actually work, and how perplexity uses an anonymous user agent to avoid being blocked.

The MCP documentation site has the same problem. It’s basically just a list of bullet points without any details

So someone just started advertising the prefix when it was up for grabs? That’s pretty funny
