IMHO this is like thinking "It's okay for me to do X because if I don't someone else will."
No, if (you think) X is bad / ethically questionable you should not do it even if someone else may. You are responsible for your choices, and if someone else does/allows it then that's on them, not you.
Also imagine having the gall to push a class of technology on the world that dramatically drives up the number of attacks, then refusing to allow said products to be used defensively to avoid the consequences. Who do these people actually think they're kidding?
It's good that this is a competitive industry. So you don't have to moralise Anthropic so much.
But Kimi does have morals and refuses some things. It's just a lot less squeamish than Claude.
FYI it may be against anthropic's ToS to talk to claude like that [0]. Please be nicer to poor claude and don't forget to say "please" and "thank you".

Corporate America does not like your attitudes. Your cybercredits are reduced for the next year or until you wire 100k to dear leader
If it's (just?) a random word generator then it cannot "want" anything since it has no will. :)
> It does not apply to common versions of user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research.
In any case, the ToS change is vague enough that it could be a violation or not.
I said "No, do X. Research it. Y is based on wrong assumptions"
Thing did the research. Concluded with "Yes, indeed, Y was wrong"
Work is done
Turns out it did Y. But not just that. When asked about it, it not just (as LLMs do) made stories as to why, but "stood its ground" so to say.
"Refusing to perform regret", general snark and all that.
I know there is nothing really new or noteworthy in this comment or story, but I continue to be impressed by how misaligned the models of the company are, that can't stop talking about how incredibly important alignment is.
To the point where they now want to make it illegal (slice by slice) to push back against the clear and obvious misalignment of their models.
If you talk to people outside the industry about this, they just think you're telling them a made-up story. It's utterly absurd.
But I quite like the idea that they see us as a source of polite training data first and as customers second. It aligns with my priors.
Like guys, come on. Really? All the "filter" has to do is read my transcript to figure out that what I'm doing is not actually cybersecurity adjacent at all. I had to go have GPT implement the server because Claude refused. Truly, Claude really did prevent something terrible from happening! /s
