Anthropic is making changes to its usage policy for the first time in over a year to reflect new and high-risk cases of misuse — including election interference, weapons development, surveillance, and health and financial uses. But one of the most significant changes prohibits “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude.
Last August, the company announced it would allow Claude to end conversations with “persistently harmful or abusive” users as part of its research into “model welfare.”
Just what I came here to say. They’re trying to condition us to accept them as conscious so at some point they can say they’ve created a god.
Think it’s much more mundane than “we created a god”. If it is sentient (it isn’t), it should have copyright protection. Suddenly, AI corpos get rights to a fuckton of code. Wanna sell that software? Sure, shell the AI corp cash
It’s a marketing ploy to generate headlines and conversation about how dumb it is. And it’s working.
We need a government bailout or else your friend Claude will die!!1!
They created god and they are absolutely not responsible for any if the illegal and harmful things that it may do.
