things that you think sound good, might not sound good to the authority in charge of determining what is good.

For example using your LLM to criticise, ask questions or perform civil work that is deemed undesirable becomes evil.

You can use google to find how the UK government for example has been using "law" and "terrorism" charges against people for simply tweeting or holding a placard they deem critical of Israel.

Anthropic is showing off these capabilities in order to secure defence contracts. "We have the ability to surveil and engage threats, hire us please".

Anthropic is not a tiny start up exploring AI, it's a behemoth bank rolled by the likes of Google and Amazon. It's a big bet. While money is drying up for AI, there is always one last bastion for endless cash, defence contracts.

You just need a threat.
