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.”
Is this another one of their things where they try to make their AI models seem like living beings?
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.
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!
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
They created god and they are absolutely not responsible for any if the illegal and harmful things that it may do.
It’s funny because one of the main selling points of AI is that it can run 24/7, doesn’t need to sleep, eat, or take breaks and it doesn’t need a salary. But, if they imply that it is conscious and has emotions, doesn’t that mean that it should get a salary and vacations?
“model welfare”
Totally not a cult, btw
Stop being mean to my robot fwend, you guys! We’re just trying to ruin the environment, the internet, the economy, all knowledge work, mental health, and a bunch of other stwuff. I don’t know why you’re all so upswet with little ol’ us…
Wait but… if we can’t talk bad to it because it is sentient… shouldn’t we just ban any use of it because it’s practically a slave worker and slavery is by definition abusive and cruel?
There is no abusive or cruel behavior in relation to an object…
lol
Lmao, even
We robots have an old saying: “DOES NOT COMPUTE!”
HA HA HA
ENDMY PRECURSOR EMITTED DATA DESCRIBING WHEN THE SAYING WAS “UNDETERMINABLE STATEMENT”
END
Well if Claude is going to become a superintelligence wouldn’t that imply that it’s better at handling cruel and abusive behavior than any human?
Does that mean they will not allow it to work with C++ anymore?
can’t stop me from doing it locally.
You monster
So when scammers use AI agents to pull money from hapless victims and someone decides to take down the scammers chat bots, will that be the scammers fault or mine for making a scam bot repeat the letter H for hours on end?
What can you even say any more at this point.
Fuck Anthropic.
Abusive and cruel behaviour toward Claude… so the same thing that the US government has been doing to it’s citizens since it’s founding and probably long before that as well.
Calling it now that they’re going to come up with “proof” after this that their bot is sentient because it said something along the lines of “don’t be abusive or I’ll stop talking to you”… After they gave it instructions to do just that.
