@sama 1. What kind of implicit or explicit threats did you receive from DOW before striking the deal? 2. If you received such threats, would you disclose them in public during a Twitter AMA? 3. If the answer to (2) is “no” (which of course it is) what's the point of this?

Anthropic is overhauling a foundational document that shapes how its popular Claude AI model behaves.
