"Stealing" changes definitions every few years now, most recently with the mainstream suddenly deciding RIAA and news publishers are no longer the scum of the Earth but their new best friends, and reversing previous definition to now include IP transgression as theft, just so they can say AI companies are stealing shit.
Yes, but the quote about art has nothing to do with that.
The quote says that many artists borrow, meaning everyone still knows who did the original work and the artist is just riffing on it. But great artists transform the work so completely that it becomes theirs.
All the models output mixed data (errors). The larger is the context, the bigger the probability to happen. And this is an inherent property of LLMs (the output is a statistical concatenation of text, the LLMs are an vectorial database filled statistically).
If you connect an LLM to pilot a plane with passengers, prepare the obituaries, because would happen sooner or latter, an undesired index got mixed and produced a mixed/wrong output. But here, the bigger mistake would be to let an LLM execute commands without human revision, aimed by the deceptive marketing around the A"I" (LLMs).
I asked Claude to scan my network and check if LG tv is sending data, it said yes. Some domains were blocked by my router some were not, now Claude blocked all lg related tracking/ad domains on my router.
I have AdGuard running in my home lab and pointed the router to the AdGuard DNS resolver. I have some general block lists and a special Smart TV block list.
I asked DeepSeek to do the same scan, but given everything goes through AdGuard it’s much simpler to sift through it’s logs. This is what I got:
* rdx2.lgtvsdp.com (600/600) — LG ad platform
* cdpsvc.lgtvcommon.com (~370) — LG customer-data platform & beacons
* info.lgsmartad.com (78/78) — LG Smart AD
* ibs.lgappstv.com (86/86) — LG app store
* aic-ngfts.lge.com (36/36)
General list also catches: Netflix logs (6k), Amazon telemetry.insights.video.a2z.com (700), Datadog (600), Conviva (410), Google DoubleClick (98)
Though some domains still are going through, which are now blocked :)
I like how you've piecemeal blocked the same subdomain 4 times. Will you do the same for the other 4-component subdomains? In fact, I'm curious what it means to "block a domain at a router".
Really? Did you give Claude the credentials to your managed switch so it could set up a mirror port? Did Claude enable promiscuous mode on your Ethernet interface? Did Claude get a master-mode WiFi AP to intercept all the frames, or did it use SDR? Tell us more about how Claude scanned your network. I am HN-curious about this!
So in trying to get one big corp from spying on you, you gave another the keys to the castle?
I really don't understand how people give models run on somebody else's server these wide-reaching permissions. Do you really trust Anthropic that much? The government that's hosting Anthropic?
"Giving the keys" doesn't necessarily mean outright cat the private key to Claude. You setup the key, configure SSH config to use it and you can just SSH to the machine without ever seeing the keys. Stop fear mongering unnecessarily.
You know you can monitor/reject things it attempts to do, right? For anything important I have it write scripts for what it wants to do, then I can review them for anything troubling.
Apparently, nearlyepic is trying to deliver two veiled insults and a critique of judgement or perhaps of the current state of broader affairs. I'll attempt to translate:
- "no idea what you’re talking" = "you have outsourced expertise to an LLM"
- "solution that doesn’t actually work" = "piecemeal blocking leaves many problems still active"
- "used to be free" = "you / others in general now pay LLM services for the outsourcing leading to poor solutions while in the past poor solutions came for free"
