It's not like any legally questionable kidnappings or bombing campaigns were being planned at the time, right?

Those acts are allowed by Anthropic’s terms-they aren’t domestic mass surveillance, and (to the best of my knowledge) any AI targeting decisions were approved by a human in the loop.

Anthropic’s terms weren’t “don’t do anything illegal” they were “here are two highly specific things which you aren’t allowed to, whether they are legal or not”

do you really think the bombings and kidnappings are new as of 2024? You think what we have been doing in the middle east and Guantanamo bay since 2001 are moral?
The only reason that I mention liability concerns is precisely because of Abu Ghraib, Snowden, et. al.
