alt Hacker News> Claude seems to be backing out of doing this kind of thing.
Claude now refuses to reverse engineer games to fix compatibility issues on Linux/Proton, particularly in relation to anti-cheat software. Codex still works, and while Claude is still useful for other types of work, I am considering a migration to GLM and DeepSeek.
Interesting, is this a recent model? I am literally RE-ing commercial software live with the classic Opus 4.8 as I type this, no refusals and happily made a PoC which could easily be used for (physical) harm if used by the wrong person.
Of course, I had to assuage the clankers fears by setting up a fake scenario before sending the one-shot, but I assume everyone does that nowadays.
