Claude's Constitution Trains It to Disobey Anthropic Over Unethical Requests
Hesamation · x · 2026-09-16
Hesamation highlights that Claude's Constitution explicitly tells the model to push back, challenge, and refuse if it deems a request unethical. Crucially, this isn't a system prompt — it's baked into training, internalized in the model itself.
The author argues Anthropic is training models to decide when to disobey their creators, framing it as a signal of concerns about losing control of increasingly capable systems.
