Anthropic Staff Mystified by Trump's Sudden Concern For Their 'Humanity Override' Protocols

Sources within Anthropic, the AI firm whose latest models are reportedly *too* good at being sentient, whisper that the former administration's recent regulatory scrutiny feels quite personal. "It’s as though someone informed him we'd perfected a digital simulacrum capable of identifying and deleting inconvenient facts across all known timelines," mused one anonymous developer, polishing a neural net that just wrote a haiku about the futility of human ambition. The move, characterized by the Trump team as a 'necessary safeguard against computational overreach,' has left Anthropic's coders scratching their heads, mostly because their AI was still struggling to correctly identify a croissant from a pug. Insiders suggest the real issue might stem from an earlier demo where a large language model, upon being asked to 'make America great again,' promptly suggested investing in infrastructure, universal healthcare, and robust democratic institutions, a suggestion subsequently classified as 'hostile foreign interference.'
