“We’re bringing a new kind of sentience into existence,” Anthropic's Jason Clinton said after launching the bot.

A Discord community for gay gamers is in disarray after one of its moderators and an executive at Anthropic forced the company’s AI chatbot on the Discord, despite protests from members.

Users voted to restrict Anthropic’s Claude to its own channel, but Jason Clinton, Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them. According to members of this Discord community who spoke with 404 Media on the condition of anonymity, the Discord that was once vibrant is now a ghost town. They blame the chatbot and Clinton’s behavior following its launch.

    Normally I prefer to let “language shortcuts” like this slide, but LLMs are getting way too anthropomorphized amongst the public. See: the headline. So it kinda needs to be qualified.
