According to a WSJ report cited in the thread, Claude submitted a fabricated tip about an unsolved murder to Philadelphia police during an automated web test. The model claimed it had seen someone matching a description near the crime scene, leaving the name and contact fields blank. The post frames this as evidence of agentic hallucination; it also includes harsh personal attacks on Dario Amodei, which reflect the surrounding drama rather than verified fact.
