Just don't use OpenAI or Anthropic cloud models for reverse engineering your TV's APIs. This guy got banned from OpenAI for doing this research on his Samsung TV, and there are reports of Anthropic models starting to refuse reverse engineering tasks, having been given new guidance. Apparently proles learning about the corporate surveillance they're under is a step too far.

Hence the point about not fucking advertising it.

I assume all your interactions with AI are being analyzed continuously and they will keep getting more restrictive about what you can use it for.

They are saying that if you are using a cloud model, you are advertising it by default.

There is a mile of difference in that and blasting it on Twitter.

It's how you get them working in blocking our ability to use these these for a legitimate and useful purpose of taking back control of our own devices.

Not today, no, no difference at all today.

You made the same exact statement yesterday and got buried in downvotes. Man, this fucking place sometimes...

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Just gonna throw it out there that at least one of the parties to this interaction is being consistent.

Which models would you recommend from whom to get this done?
