alt Hacker NewsWell, to people who don't believe in precognition, it sounds like Anthropic had quality control engineers dedicated to their military clients' usage. Basically running through the prompts and inspecting the answers and digging deeper how their chatbots gave those answers. Somebody must have pressed the high-alert button, resulting in Anthropic taking a stance.
Certainly possible but I'd assume DoD expressly forbid anyone looking at their usage and Anthropic had to support that to win their contract. They may have gotten wind of what they were doing somehow.
