>researching Nordic assisted death and asking which drug exactly they administered (and what quantity).

Odd ban. The countries with legally passed instances use similar drugs/processes — you could research about those, wiki, google, actual websites, dignitas et al. No ban needed. Was the ban reason spelt out? Was it your wording?

Wild guess, but even if those creating the filters would agree with you, it doesn’t mean they know how to nerf the system only for the cases they want to actively wipeout.

Thank you. I don't understand your comment. I don't know 'nerf' (as in Star Wars?) in this context, and the system to wipeout is what? Are you referring to Assisted Suicide?

Nerf used this way is more in analogy to the toy guns (Nerf as a trade name, they launch foam projectiles, there even exist hobbyists who will upgrade them to be more energetic/destructive), it means to make the system ineffectual in some way that blunts a powerful feature, often with the stated goal of protecting the user.

Thank you. That explains this nerf. But I don't see how that applies to the comment. Do you? It may be the nerf reply was meant for someone else or some other post.

Someone already replied about "nerf", which I learned recently myself reading some comments here. And when I find words new to me, my first personal reaction is rather to check for it in online resources like Wikitionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nerf#Verb_2

Don’t get it wrong: asking for clarifications is also a perfectly legitimate way to learn. And you often get more than initial expectation in that way. But if you ever fall in a case where you don’t get a reply or the reply don’t help, remember you are not powerless in finding some answers through online resources.

So, expressed a bit differently the initial response stated something like "it’s not always easy to avoid downgrading many other interesting and legit possibility of a device when trying to tweak it so it becomes less dangerous in some terrible scenario it could be involved into."

Let me know if it’s making the response more clear to you like that, please.

Thank you. I cannot see the connection between the nerf analogy and being banned from Claude for looking up publicly available information via a non straightforward route.

Are Claude and the Claude user the Nerfer and Nerfee? Or visa versa?

If you want to spell it out I'd be happy to read it but I'm also ok not knowing and fine to park it and move on. Cheers.

Not really odd. Sure you can get the same with a Google search but all of the attention is on AI atm so you don't expect it to be unfairly judged?

Humans aren't like that lmao. We're reactionary, tribal animals.

>Not really odd.

You're commenting on my question to someone else? It's still odd, and the comment wasn't to you.

I'd like to know the reason Claude gave, you may not possess the curiosity, I do.
