Agreed, only LLM I can give a folder of packet traces from a multiplayer game and wake up the next day with a server that feels identical.

I'm inclined to agree given how unstable Gemma 4 is when not using the "official" sampler settings

Aren't consumer class dumb TVs gone?

Yes, that's kind of the point. If you have the choice between $500 black rectangle and $1000 black rectangle where the only difference is some boring privacy policy details most people will go with option 1.

The companies that make these TVs love that we are this point since they can now take away the subsidy, and you also coincidentally now have no option to buy a non-smart TV, so they are now collecting $ from both the purchase and from the ads. Tada! Grossness all around.

Can confirm it is also useless for building tools defending against reverse engineering work (unless asked to do code review for some reason?)

Ironically making a stink about it online is likely to have a larger impact then using their dedicated feedback or support channels (which go to claude, not a person)

the feedback is for something mindless though, "we don't care about societal harms". I wonder the overlap between these commenters and tech maga people, eg crypto bros & Elon stans.

In this case, no overlap between me and tech maga / crypto bro / elon stan.

It has about the same problems with finding content that the www has, its just in the earlier stages

This has nothing to do with enshittification.

Try blackbox, its a puzzle game that will have you messing with device settings to beat levels

ooh neat! (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blackbox/id962969578)

Its already happening, some of my friends have (seemingly) inherited LLM verbal tics, specifically overuse of the word "highlight."

Im in the community reverse engineering web CAPTCHAs, it's because they are too easy to reverse engineer with Claude now.

I've seen multiple people break botguard (the obfuscation used by recapcha) within the last year when before it was considered a huge technical envour.

Devices like phones don't have this issue since Google owns the client attestation end to end and can fingerprint you without the risk of receiving spoofed values.
