I know Anthropic models have a lot of insane, paranoid filters, but I don't remember them blocking cryptography work last I checked (some 3 months ago now).

I routinely get rejected on elliptic curve related requests; often I can talk Claude back into some work on it. But it is surprisingly sensitive to talking about research cryptography in my experience. I’m not in their cyber program.

3 months ago is like years ago in the current AI landscape

  • Three months ago is about when I gave up on trying to use their newer models for almost any task without getting blocked.

    But EC never seemed to cause trouble somehow.

The cyber filter blocks really basic stuff all the time. People who are pro that bs should be forced to only eat with a spoon for the rest of their life.

  • For me it refused to move Claude transcripts from point A to point B on my local machine. It kept getting flagged as reasoning extraction or something. The line of "It's my machine, I can move files wherever I want" shouldn't be crossed. Someday file managers are going to go extinct and LLMs will organize everything, and they shouldn't choose what files you can and can't access on your own computer.

  • If you have a variable `const char *shellcode` in a fizzbuzz function, it is enough for it to lose its mind.

    • It stopped me from doing basic bit operations. I have looked around and others have the same problem.
