"it's not our fault if you misuse the product to commit a crime that's on you"

I feel like if guns can get by with this line then Claude certainly can. Where gun manufacturers can be held liable is if they break the law then that can carry forward. So if Claude broke a law then there might be some additional liability associated with this. But providing a tool seems unlikely to be sufficient to be liable in this case.



if anthropic were selling the product and then had no further control your analogy with guns would be accurate

here they are the ones loading the gun and pulling the trigger

simply because someone asked them to do it nicely


You...do realize Claude is not just a guy sitting in Anthropic's office doing what people on the internet tell him to, right?


That's a good analogy actually.
