Tell HN: Claude flags biology / biotech questions

4 ポイント投稿者 areoform3 か月前1 コメント

I was reading the news about a capsule designed to deliver drugs via the GI tract, https://news.mit.edu/2024/bioinspired-capsule-can-pump-drugs...

And remembered prior reading that no system has ever been approved to deliver antigens via the GI tract. So I asked Claude Opus 4.5,

    Have any antigen molecules ever been delivered via the digestive tract? Not to targets in the digestive track but elsewhere.

And was warned by the platform,

    API Error: Claude Code is unable to respond to this request, which appears to violate our Usage Policy (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup).

AFAICT, these restrictions didn't exist before.

This extends to alien bio as well. I took a lengthy write-up from reddit about supposed alien physiology and asked Claude to summarize it for me. It was flagged. It went thru when I added a text about how it was speculative and not at all illegal.
