FAQ

Q: If you want a resolution, why not just pay the money demanded online?

A: We are completely willing to sit down and figure out a fair, reality-based way to ensure this grandfather is made whole. However, there is a fundamental difference between a good-faith resolution and giving in to a coordinated, viral extortion campaign. We will not reward individuals who use fake delivery uniforms, forged signatures, staged police encounters, and residential harassment to manufacture a storyline for profit. We want to help the family; we will not reward a toxic online circus.

Honestly heartless behavior to treat someone trying to get money for a cancer treatment. I hope they go under.

Personally I feel a vulnerability in local code (unshared ai slop) is much less likely to be exploited, than for say a npm package update that will pwn you as soon as it loads up.

How long will it be until you can't spin the thread and fabricate your clothes stitch by stitch because you're out of practice?

Nice reusable libraries are still a core part of most AI projects, but honestly I think it's not a terrible approach with all the updating dependency malware issues with stuff like NPM.

Facing reality is difficult for these euro types, they feel an need to to simultaneously hate America while also wanting to be like it.

Claude is notorious in my experience to lie directly to your face (even if its baffling) instead of using the web tool. I'll never prompt it without saying 'use web tool' Its ridiculous.

Seems like a de-webbed fork of this is a no brainer. its crazy what they think people will just take lying down from a open source project.

Very obviously AI written, could tell by the end of the first sentence. Could've been a interesting read.. if you wrote it.

Something about a scheduling/productivity app (one of the most common vibe-coded projects people make) being the subject of this is funny to me. I wonder how many tokens have been wasted making apps like this, let alone time.

if michalesoft wants to take away our ability to sign drivers, they will find there is more than enough vulnerable easily exploited drivers we can use that are pre-signed online. Thank you micosawft!

"But it was still unclear how much we should trust this result because it was possible that at least some of those historical CVEs were already in Claude’s training data." I feel like they could know this if they truly wanted to. It's honestly unnerving that an AI company cant say for certain if their models were trained on something.

This model was not so fun to use for me, had it make a fancy landing page and sometimes it would forget about what i just asked it to do and affirm something it had done before was working. Just odd, needs too much hand-holding compared to composer 1.5 or gemini 3

This is my general experience with the claude app, I don't know what they're smoking over at anthropic but their ability to touch mobile arch inappropriately with AI is reaching critical levels.
