“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.

    Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

    Wait… the damn CISO is the one forcing AI? Guy seriously needs to be blackballed from ever holding a security job again for pushing AI.

      Not just that; he’s knee deep in LLM psychosis.

      He needs help. Other devs I’ve met like this are… well, I feel sorry for them. Though I’ve never seen it happen to someone in such a high technical position.

      You can’t really blame an AI company from dogfooding their own products throughout their branches. It would send the wrong signal if the CISO of an AI company didn’t use their own AI, quite the opposite.
