There's nothing Anthropic can do to satisfy the HN crowd, is there? If they don't post about this they're bad. If they post about this they're bad.

They are not bragging in this article or they would not have called the attacks unsophisticated.

they should post and it shows they are hypocritical about safety, moralizing and treating their users like children whilst acting like they are themselves the ubermensch.

anthropic have shown no motive higher than self interest, the rsp was a piece of toilet paper.

this stops in court, if we do not start the criminal prosecution of individuals there will become a culture of legal impunity coupled with an extreme concentration of wealth and control of intelligence

Wild comment. Making a mistake does not mean that AI safety is suddenly invalid. Calling for criminal prosecution for making a mistake is wild. No one would disclose their mistakes if this happened.

[lukewarm707]

yes, a mistake can be a crime, depending on negligence and liability. the bigger problem at anthropic is this.

an ubermensch cannot admit to being wrong. a guilty ubermensch is logically impossible.

as such a moral wrong caused by an ubermensch must be blamed on a "mistake" in the abstract, and not blamed on the ubermensch. the ubermensch at anthropic does not admit responsibility or liability. the ubermensch must instead be commended and perhaps even rewarded, for discovering the reified "mistake" that caused the problem.

there is no ubermensch at anthropic. there are instead guilty people.

false ubermensch are dangerous because they centralize power with the belief that they are above the rest. über (above), and super ('beyond' the understanding). they do not admit to doing or being wrong, and never take responsibility for remediation. others must bear the costs of false ubermensch.

They'd have first to acquire some.

There will be? We're living in that culture.

The real lesson here is still the boy who cried wolf. They’ve played this game for years. I have no reason to believe their worries are real now.

I see no fear mongering or "boy who cried wolf" in this article. They are admitting to a fairly mundane network misconfiguration and very basic unsophisticated actions taken by Claude thereafter
