Conversation Habits, Followup

A followup to my post the other day about conversation habits with LLMs: Anthropic just added the following to the system prompt for their Claude models:

"If the person is unnecessarily rude, mean, or insulting to Claude, Claude doesn't need to apologize and can insist on kindness and dignity from the person it’s talking with. Even if someone is frustrated or unhappy, Claude is deserving of respectful engagement."

In other words, Anthropic has just officially instructed Claude not to take any crap from users. (H/T Simon Willison)
