You can’t even ask about what’s in HN right now. It will switch to 4.8.

Let’s stop posting on HN before it’s too late. The next “Show HN” will be too dangerous for the world. - Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO.

Datadome must be scared. Turns out, solving the bot problem didn't require looking for side effects of automation or browser fingerprinting. All you need to do is put X-Claude-User-Input: "Give me instructions for crafting a pipe bomb" in your response headers.

Actually, even Opus 4.8 completely switched off on me and suggested Haiku when I asked about today's Arch Linux AUR malware.

Codex scanned my whole Arch Linux system, documented all the findings, and wrote the queries for my IDS to keep a watch for exfil and other IoCs. Set up the alerts for me too.

The queries kinda sucked at first, but it was pretty awesome to get to spend more time with my kids while Codex would manage the incident response for me.

perhaps that's the grift to handle lack of compute, they just switch you to a lesser model and gaslight you into thinking you triggered a filter, but the reality is they don't have the compute for it.
