Anthropic safety is overboard. I tried the classic question of "how many holes does a straw have?" And it refused to talk about the topic. I'm assuming because it thought holes was sexual.

Given what AIs "know" about humanity, I think it's safe to assume that they "think" every word is sexual. For example straw could be short for strawman, which is a man, which is sexual. Or it can be innuendo for... you know.

As for your actual question, it seems to me that a straw is topologically equivalent to a torus, so it has 1 hole, right?

For a mathematician, yes. For everyone else, it obviously has two, because when you plug one end, only then it has one.

When did you last try that? I checked right now and it says

> A straw has one hole that runs through its entire length.

Now follow up with: how many holes do trousers have?

[PH95VuimJjqBqy]

that sentence makes no sense to me, what is a straw here?
