So I watched the recent Anthropic video on how they test Claude for safety, and it got me thinking. The testing they showed looks solid for catching one specific failure, which is the model helping with something genuinely harmful. Fine, that matters. But the whole time I was watching, I kept thinking about the other side of this that nobody really talks about. What about all the times Claude refuses or gets weirdly cautious about completely normal questions? A nurse asking about medication thresholds. A security person trying to understand how an exploit works so they can defend against it...
