This was already discovered during the source map leak.

They already tell you they scan for malicious prompts, and they have no ZDR guarantees for consumers. Why do signatures like this matter at all?

There has been an anti anthropic propaganda push by bad actors across social media sites especially Reddit and twitter. This started a few months ago when anthropic started beating openai.

Absolutely. Nothing makes me believe dead internet theory more than text threads discussing anyhropic and openai.

I was browsing Threads and saw a lot of Anthropic hate. Randomly clicked on a profile and looked them up on LinkedIn - literally an OpenAI PR guy.

openai staff on twitter are absolutely obsessed with claude and anthropic, just taking petty/dishonest shots and RTing the same, it's honestly embarrassing to watch

Altman is also exactly the kind of person who would resort to tactics like this.

It's funny to imagine Sam Altman alt-posting on Hackernews about how shitty Anthropic is.

The n'th comment on some vibe coded app denigrating it for the claude's style. Not even a sophisticated attack to change the narrative. Just Sam Altman jumping on the pile.

It'd even be recreational. Not just a business move, but fun. "Hey I got a minute on the toilet, let me login to `amas` and troll on the latest Anthropic thread"

From where I'm standing, this started a few months ago when Anthropic decided to gaslight users, sabotage their projects, ship malware and attempt a regulatory capture.

If there's an anti-ANT propaganda, it is solely of ANT's own making.

How could you possibly know that?

You can say there is good reason to be anti-Anthropic but how could you possible know there is 0 propaganda being pushed?

> gaslight users

When?

> sabatoge their projects

Again, when?

> attempt a regulatory capture

Yet again, when?

> ship malware

This definitely never happened.

Based only on the third quote (you're literally in the thread discussing second iteration of it), and your username, you can't possibly be acting in good faith here, so I'm not going to waste my time providing references to the events that were widely discussed even here on HN in the past 6 months.

Are you illiterate? The entire thread is about how two bits of information are not malware.

> and your username

Profiling. Not only bad form - tell-tale sign of someone too stupid to engage in debate and/or who has zero valid points to contribute.

> I'm not going to waste

Yeah, that fools people below the age of...six? Literally everyone else knows that's just how children desperately try to cover for a lack of ability to answer the question or provide evidence. "Oh, yeah, my dad owns Epic Games, but because you don't believe me, I'm not going to let you meet him!"

I love triggering the OpenAI shills on HN. It's so trivially easy.

Thank you for creating an indelible record for future HN readers about how every single one of your points is completely unfounded and you're merely a propaganda account.
