| This user is based in Hong Kong, where Claude is geo-blocked and not available. If you try visiting claude.ai from a Hong Kong IP address, you get an "unavailable in this region" message. They are likely accessing Claude via a VPN. Doing model training work over a VPN is a highly suspicious signal, and likely triggers Anthropic's classifiers. It's not surprising that their account got flagged. |

The safeguards don't check your IP (but pretty soon will check someone's IP [pun intended]) |

| Kindof old news, they've been doing this for months... |

| ▲ | pkoird an hour ago | parent [-] | | Better block than falsify information. Last I heard they were deliberately botching it whenever someone asked semi-advanced questions on model training. | | |
| ▲ | dominotw an hour ago | parent [-] | | so models can reveal "advanced" model building secrets ? how? How is it a secret if everyone has a model that is exactly like the other. Surely there are no secrets | | |
| ▲ | georgemcbay 32 minutes ago | parent [-] | | > Surely there are no secrets Not yet, especially not with all of the incestuous cross-hiring that all the labs do. But perhaps the various L. Bob Rife variants running these labs are using their advanced unreleased models to work on their own Snow Crashes. |
