Tell HN: Claude flags biology / biotech questions

4 pointsareoform1 comment

I was reading the news about a capsule designed to deliver drugs via the GI tract, https://news.mit.edu/2024/bioinspired-capsule-can-pump-drugs...

And remembered prior reading that no system has ever been approved to deliver antigens via the GI tract. So I asked Claude Opus 4.5,

    Have any antigen molecules ever been delivered via the digestive tract? Not to targets in the digestive track but elsewhere.

And was warned by the platform,

AFAICT, these restrictions didn't exist before.
