It would be funny if it was a Canon printer. Their quality and reliability are another league.

And smart people suffer [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] exactly because they, first, think that others can have the same scrutiny about things and get surprised/disappointed when they find out how other people reach conclusions. Loneliness is the most common.

Once upon a time, in Brazil, there was a campaign about STDs. They decided to call the male genitalia as "Braulio". That name become ruined forever.

Not only Anthropic but any LLM that refuses to produce an answer because of some objection.
I know that no company want to be associated with a headline that their model was used to {something}.
Instead of helping us better learn something, we're heading (in fast pace) to the world where we won't be free to think outside allowed topics.
Example: I asked some LLM to give me the spell (from a certain religion) to bring justice to someone. It refused as it would be "too powerful and could be use to cause damage".

Sildenafil [0] was synthesized to treat high blood pressure. Erectile disfunction was a side effect that raised much more interest.
Tadalafil [1] followed the path of Sildenafil about the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme inhibitor.
Help to live longer was the main objective since the beginning.

There is Compression done by Prediction by partial matching [0]
There is the Kolmogorov Complexity [1], Normalized Information Distance [2] and Normalized compression distance [3] that correlates those.
Finally, there's the Pre-Big Bang Informational Compression and the Delayed Release of Antimatter [4]
All big {rabbit/black} holes to lose some time, if you have any.
