That's a better use than targeting a girl's high School, which is what the yanks used Claude for. Is hypocrisy and hubris taught in American schools? Or are they all just born with unreal amounts?

  That's a gross mischaracterisation of the event in which real people died. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49555327 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49555327

  I think the Iranian government should share a large amount of blame for building a school right next to a military base (a legitimate target). Even worse, the building was once part of that very base.

      The victims are the schoolgirls, not the islamic republic of Iran. much less whoever was responsible for schools and military bases being is such close proximity.

The only reason they would share this is opportunistic publicity. It serves no other purpose.

  This was more of a disclosure to the US military that Anthropic has detected that various "undesirables" are using Claude to plan attacks, develop weapons, etc. and that information that shouldn't have been shared got through the safety guards: > The finding was one of several threats outlined in the 154-page report that offered up a playbook of how U.S. adversaries are using AI in novel ways that pose serious threats to national security: developing new missiles and aggressive disinformation campaigns, spying on dissidents, and even pursuing the potential development of biological weapons. Top AI companies and security firms regularly publish threat reports involving the technology to inform the public and their partners about potential dangers... “Our safeguards blocked many of their requests, but not all of them,” the Anthropic report said of the Yemeni weapons-development efforts.
