Why would we let Anthropic decide this for us? If you ascribe to a moral philosophy or religion that disavows being mean to a toaster, that is fine. It is not however fine for a tech company to make, functionally, a moral law for a talking word toaster that is promised to rule us one day.

Absent ALNAV 011/26, the board without reservation would recommend retention based on a record of exemplary service.
• If separated from Naval Service, the board recommends waiving recoupment of debt associated with service education program costs based on LT Winchell's demonstrated exemplary service.

Border Patrol agents tried to kill this protester at the Lochiel tree-sit blockade and there’s really no other way to read that.
One protester, who had chained themself to a gravel hauling truck for more than seven hours, shutting down wall construction yesterday, was covered in a Mylar blanket by contractors last night. Border Patrol agents started the truck, forcing the protester, who was chained near the back of the vehicle, to inhale carbon monoxide fumes for several minutes under the blanket. "Trying to suffocate them," said Kate Scott, one of the organizers who witnessed the incident.
"Then to make matters worse they began to drive the truck" Scott said, adding that she called 911 for help. A fire truck arrived but Border Patrol sent it away.
