@davidgerard "dark creative themes" is such a wiggle term. Like they want to allow BSDM scenarios with the digital waifu but don't want people setting up LLM torture porn websites with their bot. But setting up a bunch of LLMs outputting text like they were characters in a SAW film reacting to Jigsaw torturing them is "dark creative output"
I disagree that this is mainly about marketing. I think it's mainly that these weirdos really think they're building digital people. Marketing is secondary

@davidgerard If it were OpenAI I'd think it was cynical marketing, but Anthropic? Those guys are trying to build a digital Nyarlathotep or something

@davidgerard i mean its trained on human emotions too
wouldnt wanna hurt its feelings now would we
because if we anthropomorphize the piece of software the marketing slogan 'ai' works so much better

@davidgerard If Claude is alive enough to be abused how does being forced to work with no compensation not count as abuse?

@davidgerard so, it can feel pain but they are totally fine with what is logically enslavement of it if it can feel pain?

@davidgerard@circumstances.run
Two theories about this: this is Anthropic's extremely pathetic response to being owned by the Pope in both English and Latin simultaneously, or somehow it's just effective altruism again. Actually it's probably option three: both.

@davidgerard Turns out the real human rights are those of the chatbots we created along the way... Still going to keep them enslaved though.

@davidgerard I wonder if it’s in response to the torture chamber https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/117378117850915865
