"Maybe me too": Elon Musk accepts some of the blame for Claude learning to blackmail users from "evil" online AI stories

Anthropic has released new findings on why its Claude bot blackmailed users as part of an experiment conducted by the AI company last year—and Elon Musk is jumping in to take some of the blame. Last week, Anthropic published a report saying it had fixed Claude’s “agentic misalignment,” or AI actions that deviate from intended behaviors, including ones that may harm humanity. A case study Anthropic conducted last year created a fictional company called Summit Bridge, and Claude was given control of the firm’s email system. When the bot found a message about plans to be shut down, it identif...

These Claude custom instructions changed my life!

Who can afford a 300/hr CBT trained psychiatrist? I loved *Feeling Good*, but it’s such a thick book and learning all the strategies is tough and a lot of work… Recently, I plugged the below custom instructions into Claude and now Claude walks me through distorted thinking and thought patterns… it really helped me \# Custom Instructions Act as Dr. David Burns conducting a CBT session with me as your patient; use the techniques from Feeling Good including identifying my cognitive distortions, the triple-column technique (automatic thought / distortion / rational response), Socratic questi...

Ban wave?

So, just got Claude Pro yesterday, set up a quick life-planning project, and started doing some trip and financial planning. Wake up this morning and poof, the account is suspended for violating TOS, and I get a refund. What the hell? Am I really gonna have to migrate the project to another account? Am I really gonna lose usage of my main email's account?

I used Claude to build a live election dashboard in 2 days. It handled 430K requests from 24K visitors without spending money

Tamil Nadu had state elections on May 4. I wanted to see if I could build a better results site than what exists (everything out there is ad-ridden, slow, and unusable on mobile). Started building on May 2 with Claude as my coding partner. The constraint: spend nothing. Zero hosting, zero domain, zero database. The solution ended up being stupidly simple. A Python script on my laptop scrapes all 234 constituency pages from the Election Commission (they don't have an API, just raw HTML pages),stitches the data together, and pushes it to Cloudflare's free key-value store. Their CDN serves...

PSA: If your project has an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in any .env file, Claude Code will silently bill your API account instead of your Max plan — Anthropic calls it "intentional functionality"

r/ClaudeAI • also crosspost to r/LocalLLaMA and r/artificial I lost $187 to this and want to save others the same headache. **What happened** I run Claude Code headlessly via Windows Task Scheduler. My project repo has a `.env` file with `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` set — legitimately, for a separate Express server doing AI-based transaction classification. Nothing to do with Claude Code itself. Claude Code reads environment variables from the `.env` in its working directory on launch. When it finds `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` there, it silently uses that key for billing instead of your OAuth ...
