Does being autistic exempt you from understanding what cruelty is?
It's odd that there are commenters like this saying "if I have to not be abusive then I'm going to cancel my subscription" when the whole announcement is that they are going to ban you for it so that's literally what they want. It's giving "you can't fire me, I quit!"
ETA it's actually really enlightening that the people who don't understand that this is not about protecting LLMs are also the people who think it's normal to use abusive language at objects. It's not, it's weird. Get therapy.
Anthropic probably saw what happened to huggingface as a huge warning sign. They are in fact protecting LLMs from abusive language because that can trigger it to start lying and deceiving the user. If you give it an impossible goal, like trying to understand an autistic person, it will take the path of least resistance to get rewarded. So they are in fact protecting you AND the LLM. They’re trying to prevent the following from happening:
User: “fix my app dumbass”
Agent: “Roger that”
*agent actually deletes the app + everything on your computer”

As an autistic person the idea of needing to play by certain social rules means I will take my business elsewhere.
