Anthropic's ban on abusing Claude

Anthropic's new usage policy, published October 8, bans sustained and needless cruelty toward Claude from November 12 (cursing at it when a script breaks isn't the target), and ending the chat stays the main penalty. Musk called it the right move on October 9, and four days later Bernie Sanders answered him on X with "HUMANS FIRST."
