Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge

We are officially in the era of Thought Crimes.

Can the public also immediately get alerted when a cop or politician does some bad shit, though?

Writing in a diary is protected by the first amendment. Or at least should be.

The future is incredibly dark if they manage to ban open source models.

Do you think they woulda been caught if they used duck.ai?

Me: Claude, who wrote the song with the lyrics 'I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy'?

Claude: Law enforcement has been notified, you are now under arrest.

I guess it's time to come up with a more plausible explanation about why I asked how to make nuclear weapons almost every month to test LLM refusals.

What a ... nice company.

Snitching on the people - good mass surveillance company.

On the other hand, people need to learn to not trust these companies. It reminds me of others being surprised when a self-driving car reported a gun in the car. I mean, do people not think? Besides, of course, it's already messed up to want to have a gun. And it is constantly one country that has such issues, more so than many other countries.

So now when everyone has their watch recording conversations, or perv glasses, or Alexas, or Jony Ives new personal AI gadget … recording everything we say and scanning it at scale … is it ok to be a doomer yet?

Can we already have mind reading devices please. I can't wait for them to see what people really think!

> Heller faces a charge of making a written threat of violence under Florida law. Florida Statute 836.10 makes it a second-degree felony to send, post, or transmit a written or electronic record threatening to kill or injure someone, carry out a mass shooting, or commit an act of terrorism. The communication must be made in a manner in which another person may view it.

Thought crimes are real when you're sharing your thoughts with Claude

This reminds me, for his short story "Dolan's Cadillac", Stephen King claims -- perhaps exaggerating a bit -- he did the real research on how to murder a person as described in the story. How to dig the hole, what measures, what the falling rate of a car that size would be, etc, etc. He claims he fuzzied the details a bit because he didn't want to teach readers how to actually do it (again, maybe he's exaggerating a bit to promote his story).

Imagine if, instead of a friend, he had asked an AI chatbot. Would he have been reported to the police?

Aren't our private thoughts just that, private?

I get that a cloud-hosted AI chatbot is, to tech-savvy people, immediately "not private", but a lot of people don't understand this. What if Stephen King was talking to his friend about planning the murder, and his phone was listening? What if he was typing it up in MS Word and the program decided to phone home and report him to the police?

isnt this the plot of the Movie Kimi? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gr2zXuEBL0

> Another incident has taken place that illustrates the need to be careful what you tell AI

Nope! Another incident has taken place that illustrates how committed Anthropic and Anthropic AI is to the law and public safety, unlike all that open model riff-raff

They were waiting with bated breaths for something like this to jump on, and make an example of.

They are good at keeping notes on your criminal conspiracy
