Ironically making a stink about it online is likely to have a larger impact then using their dedicated feedback or support channels (which go to claude, not a person)
Im in the community reverse engineering web CAPTCHAs, it's because they are too easy to reverse engineer with Claude now.
I've seen multiple people break botguard (the obfuscation used by recapcha) within the last year when before it was considered a huge technical envour.
Devices like phones don't have this issue since Google owns the client attestation end to end and can fingerprint you without the risk of receiving spoofed values.
I've been working on my own misaligned model and grok is definitely different enough with a syspronpt compared to all the other frontier models that I've considered using it to generate synthetic training data, however it leans really heavy into LLMisms which makes it not really worth it.
Tangentially I also really like the idea of llms as librarians they are trying out with grokapedia.
There was an old game called cursors.io which was the same concept but collaboratively traversing a maze where you would sometimes have to leave other players behind to reach the next level
I opened this thread expecting a bunch of "kids these days..." posts, kind of surprised not to see any. People have been raising themselves up by putting down other generations since the very first I assume, the temptation towards the fallacy of composition is too irresistible.
I've been getting into making and breaking these antibots recently and it's funny to me how the person who wrote this post gave so much attention to what LinkedIn was doing and left the other antibots on the page as a footnote. They grab way more, they just don't let you see it. I haven't reversed PX or Recap yet but the antibot on twitch and Nike similarly checks if you have any of these 53 apps installed (when loaded on a WebKit browser) https://pastebin.com/raw/KACvjpTK
As one of said generation, I would chalk it up to instant communication creating innumerable shallow remote relationships that significantly replace time spent with others in person.
