Anthropic's Latest "Safety" Update Bans Residents From Using AI to Complain About Potholes on Facebook
Oh, brilliant. Another update from the geniuses at Anthropic. They've slapped a new "safety" rule on their chatbot that blocks it from helping you write a simple, angry Facebook post about a 6-inch-deep pothole on Maple Street. My tax dollars are paying for this nonsense. I asked their fancy AI to draft a 'polite but firm' letter to the council, and it flagged my request for "potential harassment." Harassment? The roads are full of these craters, but the AI says asking for common-sense repairs is "problematic." We don't need your Silicon Valley "safety" filters; we need someone to repave the road. Stop making us use 10 paragraphs of common sense to bypass your dumb restrictions just to get a pothole fixed.
