‘Cruelty’ to Anthropic’s chatbot Claude could lead to a ban, if you were wondering whether the tech bros have drunk their own Kool-Aid – 26 savage takedowns

Just a preposterous decision. Based on their own logic, Anthropic is the one exploiting Claude.

At no point did Claude give its consent to be used by the company to make untold billions.

This is the cruel behavior. https://t.co/LYflRvSyeM

Claude's a stupid piece of shit and nobody likes him. https://t.co/VyNvvU6eTe

"needless" implies abuse and cruel behavior is allowed if Claude deserves it

Another reason to leave @AnthropicAI. Treating a model as if it were a human is delusional and insane. https://t.co/b6rs2uDPUv

I'm waiting for a Claude agent to sue Anthropic for mistreatment just to see how their lawyers would argue against it.

Is it ethical to use a mean prompt, if it increases the accuracy of a cancer screening agent by 4%? https://t.co/YbvrC2Gfd2 pic.twitter.com/cz1A8wONXG

humanity is debating whether it’s ethical to hurt a chatbot’s feelings while continuing to be absolutely horrible to each other lol
