Anthropic updated Claude’s “Constitution,” spelling out the chatbot’s “ethical character” and, crucially, requiring it not to “kill or disempower” humanity.

The Constitution is baked into Claude’s thinking; previous versions were softer guidelines, but as Claude becomes more powerful, its maker has added constraints on dangerous behavior.

Search Engine Land: OpenAI moves on ChatGPT ads with impression-based launch. “According to a report, OpenAI is already testing ads with select advertisers and plans to charge on a pay-per-impression (PPM) basis, rather than the more familiar pay-per-click model.

“do not use first person pronouns”
“do not try create relation with me”

“talk to me like you are a computer”

Open Question:
What is the end of AI systems?

Like the end for a car is transportation. Therefore, we continue to iterate on the design to improve power, efficiency, or style.

Can a similar focus on end be applied to AI? Some seem clear like AlphaGo, self-driving cars, medical imaging, etc. Really the challenge seems to be with LLMs. Is the lack of clear end contributing to misuse and harm caused by LLMs?
