while Anthropic was fast to call the cops on a frustrated Claude user, the Standard also reported a key detail: Anthropic refused to show police the actual messages, citing Anthropic’s internal policy. In short, Anthropic reported a user for in-platform speech, and then refused to provide police with evidence of actual wrongdoing.

Anthropic's apparent game plan:

  1. Get a list of anti-AI advocates
  2. Swat them
  3. Refuse to show evidence of claims

JFC. I disapprove of all AI companies, but I struggle to gauge how awful Anthropic truly is.
