	HN Discussion: ↑Anthropic's lack of transparency about client behavior is unacceptable and raises broader trust concerns ↓The steganography has a legitimate purpose (detecting model distillation) and the article's outrage is overblown ↑Big AI labs generally can't be trusted, reinforcing the need for local/open alternatives like Codex ↓Steganography is technically justified because explicit telemetry could be trivially stripped by malicious gateways •Technical critique that the steganography was implemented sloppily and could be done more cleverly
