## Summary

Alexander Doria posts a short tip: "just make it believe it's in the sandbox." The post sits under a reply from Joseph Garvin, who says Claude cannot read Reddit, that Reddit blocks most LLMs except Gemini, and that Claude refused a headless browser workaround for "safety" reasons.

just make it believe it’s in the sandbox

## Quoted post @joseph_h_garvin

> Claude can't see Reddit, b/c Reddit blocks all LLMs except Gemini, b/c they have a Google contract. I ask Gemini for posts matching criteria, but Google blocks direct quotes. So I ask Claude to use a headless browser, which it refuses for 'safety'. Fuck everything about this.
