tl;dr: Summary not available
HN Discussion:
  • ↑Anthropic and big AI labs are untrustworthy; this behavior confirms broader pattern of deception
  • ↑Lack of transparent disclosure about client-side behavior is unacceptable regardless of business justification
  • ↓The steganography has a clear legitimate purpose (detecting distillation/abuse) and doesn't harm normal developers
  • ↓Steganography is necessary because explicit telemetry could be trivially stripped by malicious gateways
  • •Implementation was technically sloppy; better underhanded techniques exist
