...so just don't use Claude?

I thought Claude was the tool for the AI script kiddies?

[delayed]

This isn't universally true, and there's a lot of pressure to bake guardrails and moderation in: Mistral for instance went from one of the most unhinged to incredibly restrictive models with Mistral 4 Large release.

Several others have done similar to greater or lesser degrees in calendar 2026, but the pressure is there across the board to limit what the open models can do without modifications that could largely only be found locally and not from online providers.

Hopefully they don't stop it from doing malware analysis. I've been using it to report malware C2s and it's a godsend for pulling apart the layers of crap they use.

Can’t see it on my end, the clanker still finesses IDAPython just fine.

Anti video-game-reverse-engineering, to be specific. It’ll refuse to decompile or reverse engineer any video game.

Just tossed the clanker at some stuff in Cyberpunk 2077, seems to be reversing it fine. Mind you I’m using my Claude sub in OMP so maybe I’m getting a less shitty system prompt.

It’d probably be trickier with multiplayer games given the slopmachine would probably assume you wanna cheat in it

It may shock you to hear that there are other coding agents than Claude.

Wait until they find out about Abliteration models

Local AI for starters, stop relying on a single timesharing AI vendor.

DeepSeek + DSH can do it with a fraction of the cost

As well as literally any other Chinese / open model.

I'm not surprised Anthropic and OpenAI are trying their best to ban / severely handicap competition and crack down on opensource. It's a major threat to their existence.

They did not. Everyone has misinterpreted what Anthropic actually did and say. This attention economy is exhausting...

This is what an Anthropic dev said:

>"to steer it away from recreating someone else's specific game"

This just means exact clones, not reverse-engineering. The article is blatantly lying. And easy to disprove by... trying it yourself.

From the article itself, "Regarding the blocking of reverse engineering, we have received direct confirmations. The first comes from our own alumnus Jarred Walton, who was trying to run checks on the software he's developing. He notes that such work had been performed with no issue until yesterday, October 31, and that switching to Opus 4.8 let him continue his work."
