I didn't mean to imply I berate the LLMs. I don't do that. I talk to them as though they were intelligent and potentially sentient beings. When I see problems, I just correct them, take steps to prevent them in the future then move on.

I was just informing people that Anthropic gave Claude a tool that ends conversations and instructed it to use it via the system prompt if it's threatened or insulted.

The reason you don't bully real people is because they are real people, not because it doesn't work.

I know I’ll get a “it’s almost as if HN is made up of different people” for this. But It’s hilarious seeing the chiding about berating LLMs interposed with the unhinged rants and screeching on here whenever anything remotely political comes up.

For the same reason you berate a person or hit a wall. And yes, it's a machine, even more reasons why it should just take the berating and not throw a hissy fit.
