As much as i love Claude, the guardrails are terrible and annoying af.
Like, it cant type in passwords, it cant use my root password, it cant even tell me the lyrics of a song (even for a song released a hundred years ago lol).
I really hope they do something about it. Some guardrails are needed ofc, but this is TOO much.
LOL then sue Chinese AI companies as well, I use their models to scrape these website so I don't need to read useless paragraph, cookies banners, ADs, and sponsors
βΌοΈ The New York Times calls Brave a burglar and an AI "fence", accusing it in a lawsuit of selling scraped journalism to AI labs including Anthropic, xAI and Perplexity.
The complaint says Brave copied 30 billion+ webpages with a crawler it never named, so sites could not block it, then sold that index to AI companies.
Brave's own blog said in 2023 that Anthropic used its search API to train Claude 2.
The Times says Brave's browser even has a "Paywall blocker", promoted as a way to "Bypass Paywalls".
It says Brave made $100M+ reselling publishers' work while publishers got nothing.
Commission preliminary finds TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act.
The platform may lead users into harmful 'rabbit holes' by showing them an endless stream of personalised videos, including those related to mental health struggles & body image.

This is why you should use Chinese models or creating your own client via API using a platform like https://t.co/H6ikYfCmW9.
You would get access to:
- Private, e2ee models
- All the models you can ever want
- Uncensored/heretic variants
- Pay for what you use.
If you don't know what client you can use, you can use a Telegram bot locked to your Telegram account only.
No reason not to try to do it.
so apparently the uk is not only banning facesitting but theyβre also trying to ban blowjobs too for the βstrangulationβ reasoning
iβm so sorry uk oomfs π

Heβs still deep in the kernel trenches every day, has shipped and maintained one of the most complex, mission-critical codebases on the planet for over 30 years, and has zero patience for broken software.
Apple didn't store a plaintext list of forbidden words in iOS. Instead, researchers discovered a compiled minimal perfect hash table of 32-bit fingerprints buried inside the keyboard's language-model files.
When you swipe-type or use autocomplete on an iPhone, the keyboard converts your input into token IDs and evaluates sequences of two to six words. It hashes those candidate n-grams using Bob Jenkins's public-domain hashword() function. If that 32-bit fingerprint matches an entry in the table, the predictive engine refuses to suggest it, or the swipe model actively diverts the word to an alternate match.
On November 6, researcher Derik Kauffman published Swipeblocked after exhaustively enumerating candidate word combinations against the table to reverse-engineer the hidden phrases. His conservative estimate is roughly 100,000 entries across 28 languages. In English, the prediction list holds 4,525 phrases and the swipe-typing list holds 2,794.
Most entries cover violence, slurs, and sexual content, but the table also silences geopolitical phrases like "Tibetan independence", "United Ireland", "dictator Trump", and Hebrew for "the occupied territories". In testing, swiping "United Ireland" consistently resolved to "United Iceland".
You can still type any phrase letter by letter. The suppression only touches autocomplete predictions and gesture paths. Apple told Reuters the system avoids offensive suggestions, but never addressed the political entries or the existence of the table.
Apple never published the list because it was never meant to be read. It took brute-forcing the hash table to show what the keyboard was quietly dropping.
βΌοΈ It is now a crime in England and Wales to even own porn showing choking or suffocation. Adult sites are hiding creators' videos wholesale to stay clear of it.
One UK creator says Clips4Sale hid 392 of her 506 videos, though she only talks to the camera, alone.
Clips4Sale calls it a precaution that doesn't necessarily mean clips break any rule. LoyalFans is removing flagged videos from fans' accounts and urging them to check their own devices.
Owning such content can now mean up to 2 years in prison, publishing it up to 5. The law never defines strangulation or suffocation.
what the fuck is going on with the UK? iβm saying this as someone whoβs not even from the UK, but the government keeps passing laws youβd expect from a third-world country. porn prison, whatβs next? going to jail for criticizing the government? how do people in the UK just put up with this?
