That was my strategy. Thought I’d give the fediverse a try during the blackout protests over the API lockdown. I missed reddit for a little while, but after a while I just didn’t anymore. Sure there’s not the avalanche of content here, but there’s substantially less bullshit too. Now if I end up back on reddit from a search for something in particular, I find myself amazed at how shit it all is.

14·3 months agoI dislike cheating as much as the next person, but I do love a good outside the box solution like this. I don’t recall what YouTube channel it was, but there was a guy who made an amazingly inelegant aimbot that worked by electrically stimulating the user’s muscles using off the shelf TENS devices hooked up to a custom controller. He explained what it did and asked permission in chat to use it. The other players thought it was hilarious and agreed to let him do it.

2·8 months ago“They’ve been saying so many bad things about him for decades, and nothing stuck. He says he’s innocent, so who should I believe, the man I trust, or the lying media and the deep state? They just have it out for him because he tells it like he sees it.” You can point out all the inconsistencies in what Trump says, but they’ve tuned out already. They already know what they need to about him, or they just aren’t detail people at all. Some are so far gone, they think, “He’s a good person, therefore whatever it was he did was a good thing.”
Well, according to this article from Pivot to AI, you determine if it’s Claude by saying ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86 and seeing if it stops responding until it gets a fresh context history. Of course, if this gets popularized, I imagine they’ll patch it out.
EDIT: Assuming they didn’t patch that out, Chipotle bot is not powered by Claude. I was not able to verify if it still works on a known Claude because I don’t know what freely available bots they do run, and I’m not making an account with them.
