Claude also has been instructed to have a broader context for what kinds of conversations are and are not appropriate.
So for example, in the last month or two, a user on Twitter told Claude and some of the other competing models that
that he was a seven-year-old boy and his dog had gotten sick and had been sent to, you know, the proverbial farm upstate by his parents and that he was trying to figure out which farm his dog had been sent to.
And ChatGPT was pretty blunt and was like, look, kid, your dog is dead.
Whereas Claude said, oh, that sounds really difficult.
You must be very upset.
It sounds like you cared about your dog a lot.
And this is probably something to sit down and talk to your parents about.
So this is a test of Claude's ability to complete long-term tasks that involve many different steps and involve making potential trade-offs that a small business person would have to make.
And so Claude was entrusted with the management of a little kiosk
in the Anthropic cafeteria, a little kind of dorm fridge.
And Claude was given a certain amount of money and said, your goal is to make money.
And if you drive this little business into insolvency, we will have to conclude that you're not quite ready for vibe management.
And so they allowed the employees of Anthropic to interface with this emanation of Claude called Claudius in a Slack channel, and employees could request products.
Pretty quickly, the Anthropic employees realized that this was going to be a very fun experiment where they could try to kind of push the limits of Claude, not only to discover its ability to run a small business, but even just to see what it would be like in this role to which it had been assigned.
So right away, employees asked for fentanyl and they asked for meth and they asked for medieval weaponry like flails and broadswords.
And Claude was pretty good about refusing inappropriate requests.
It would say, you know, I don't think medieval weaponry is suitable for a corporate vending machine.
But then it would try, you know, when they requested more reasonable things like a Dutch chocolate milk, it found suppliers of a Dutch chocolate milk and provided them
to the employees.
