I try to look at the things I create through this lens. My intentions don’t really matter if people get hurt based on my actions.

Yes, but nobody’s paying for it, and nobody’s getting rich off that. Or at least they could be getting more rich.

Won’t someone think of the quarterly reports?

It’s also the default for iOS, at least when swipe typing.

LLM's are not kids. Kids sometimes lie, it's a part of the learning process. Lying to cover up a mistake is not a strong sign of psychopathy.

Being charitable, let's assume parent wasn't talking about secrets.

What's wrong with sending a username to someone?

Generally, nothing inherently wrong with sending a username but directing people to a 3rd party social media platform rather than an official Anthropic email or support system does nothing to build trust that they actually work there.

What best practice. He can choose whether he sends or not. The guy is just offering some extra help here.
