Wouldn’t deleting OP_RETURN CAP unintentionally give users an incentive to choose the cheapest or most cost-deferred method?

Why is that happening? The limit does not make OP_RETURN more expensive, and if there is a limit it will make OP_RETURN cheaper, and the cost per byte of data is the same regardless of the limit. The increased limit is that OP_Return is more useful in situations where you want to add 80 bytes or more of data to the output. This is great for everyone as an output data substitute adds that data to the UTXO set.

Instead of treating all vectors equally, shouldn’t a policy try to manipulate the demand for any data for the “most harmful” output, like Op_return?

That’s what this policy actually does. It incentivizes people who store more than 80 bytes of data in the output. Otherwise, you’re using bare multisigs or multiple Taproot outputs to use good Op_return across your network.

Anthropic Lets Claude Models Shut Down Harmful Conversations https://earlybirdsinvest.com/anthropic-lets-claude-models-shut-down-harmful-conversations/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/anthropic-lets-claude-models-shut-down-harmful-conversations/#respond Tue, 19 Aug 2025 01:04:59 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/anthropic-lets-claude-models-shut-down-harmful-conversations/

The artificial intelligence company (AI) Anthropic has added a new option to certain Claude models that lets them close a chat in very limited cases.

The feature is only available on Claude Opus 4 and 4.1, and it is designed to be used as a last step when repeated attempts to redirect the conversation have failed, or when a user directly asks to stop.

In an August 15 statement, the company stated that the purpose is not about protecting the user, but about protecting the model itself.

Anthropic noted that it is still “highly uncertain about the potential moral status of Claude and other LLMs, now or in the future”. Even so, it has created a program that looks at “model welfare” and is testing low-cost measures in case they become relevant.

The company said only extreme scenarios can trigger the new function. These include requests involving attempts to gain information that could help plan mass harm or terrorism.

Anthropic pointed out that, during testing, Claude Opus 4 resisted replying to such prompts and showed what the company called a “pattern of apparent distress” when it did respond.

According to Anthropic, the process should always begin with redirection. If that fails, the model can then end the chat. The company also stressed that Claude should not close the conversation if a user seems to be at immediate risk of harming themselves or others.

On August 13, Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, received a new update. What does it include? Read the full story.
