as if Claude was an Anthropic employee you were talking to.
This is your very weird and unhealthy metaphysics again. Claude isn’t an employee of Anthropic. It is a machine.
> So if you ask it to commit a crime, you are liable because that’s illegal. If it commits that crime Anthropic is also liable for the same reason (unless there was no way for Claude to realise it was committing a crime).
I agree I should be liable there, just as I am liable if I buy a car and run my enemy over with it. But the manufacturer of the car should not be.
And again, think about the implications of your qualifiers. There is NEVER a way for Claude to realize anything, because Claude is a machine, it is not the sort of entity that has the capacity to realize. So even on your rule, unless you can convince the judges and jurors of your very weird metaphysics, Anthropic will never be liable. Your proposal would make it more difficult to hold the labs liable, not less.
> If you ask it something innocuous and it commits a crime on the process of fulfilling your request, that’s on Anthropic, for badly training and safeguarding Claude.
It does seem likely that Anthropic would be liable there, because it seems likely that they were negligent. We don’t need strict laibility for that.
