+title: Steganographic Rickroll
+---
+
+Claude wrote me a tool to encode data in videos.
+
+<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EAhEepVNYj8?si=XBESHLXIjzoiyZAm" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
+
+Here is a copy of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".
+
+Encoded in the (fairly obvious) big on-screen pixels is a copy of the complete works of William Shakespeare.
+
+They can be decoded with [this tool](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/za3k/d2d993685a23be04bc3ee5b28281e6d4/raw/0a27700266ff726604d802a9263bda552c57b67a/gistfile1.txt).
+
+Thanks Claude!
