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.”
There is no abusive or cruel behavior in relation to an object…
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…
No more cock and Claude torture :(
Is this another one of their things where they try to make their AI models seem like living beings?
Does that mean they will not allow it to work with C++ anymore?
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.

So if you’re going to abuse Claude, do it through DuckDuckGo.
Joke. I don’t think Claude can be run locally, so probably every request you make to DuckDuckGo’s Claude model goes to Anthropic’s infrastructure and Anthropic can monitor all that traffic. I’m guessing if DuckDuckGo doesn’t adhere to Anthropic’s rules, Anthropic will cut DuckDuckGo off, so likely DuckDuckGo has to prevent users from “abusing” Claude or risk not being allowed to continue offering Claude. Mind you, it’s disappointing that they offer it in the first place, but given that they offer it, I doubt they’ll risk their ability to continue doing so.
If I were tasked with a covert DuckDuckGo Claude ad on Lemmy, that’s how I’d do it.
