It's just a fact that Claude has already been used to commit war crimes and Anthropic has had zero issue with it. I don't know what else there is to say about it.

Also, not that it really matters but building a fully autonomous kill bot is not actually a war crime.

Claude has been involved in the planning of a war crime, for sure. But 'Anthropic has had zero issue with it' is an unfounded assertion that you are making up.

Fielding a fully autonomous kill bot is absolutely a war crime under the IHL; specifically, there is no current universe under which a bot can reliably tell a combatant from a non-combatant, or a civilian target from a military target, or act in a proportional manner.
