I pointed Claude Opus 4.7 at my Forth entry ( https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner/blob/master/2025/ncw3/pr... ) and it absolutely refused to have anything to do with it citing security violations and accusing me of creating malware :-)
Claude seems OK with it now, so I don't know whether that was a glitch but it was quite funny.
I was talking to a Claude Opus 4.7 chatbot about low-discrepancy sequences and made the mistake of framing a thought experiment as "deceiving" a vendor who owns a scrambler by making a hard to scramble low-discrepancy sequence generator. Admittedly that sounds sketchy but the conversation up to that point--without the explicit framing--was about the same subject just shorn of metaphor. With the framing I got a refusal message that likened my request to Dual_EC_DRBG!
