Claude making a scientific discovery

Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

Anyone else find it ironic that OpenAI and Anthropic are crying foul of Chinese AI model companies for "stealing" their model capabilities through distillation when they've built their AI models from sucking up everyone's intellectual property from the internet?

Personal investment advice: If Anthropic can't tell the difference between a legitimate bioinformatics research question/prompt/query and a method to develop a biological weapon, then I'm not going to trust them when they say that they can cure all diseases in the future.

Call me naive but I kinda expected AI safeguards to be a little more sophisticated than a keyword search for "biological" related words.
