bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-20 00:24:30

OpenAI rival Anthropic says Claude has been updated with a rare new feature that allows the AI model to end conversations when it feels it poses harm or is being abused. This only applies to Claude Opus 4 and 4.1, the two most powerful models available via paid plans and API.

Literature and film often explore romantic love’s capacity to move us and radically alter our world (think of Romeo and Juliet, for instance), but this experience is not limited to romantic love: parents sometimes speak of experiencing overwhelming love at the first sight of their children, for example.
