"Oh hey Jim, did you see that our LLM test filed fake tip in an open homicide?"

"Sure did, Jeanine. I was thinking of letting em know what happened, maybe some time next week?"

"Yeah, that seems reasonable. Maybe by then it will have gotten bad enough that we can get a good headline about rogue AI causing the apocalypse that'll help the share price."

Anthropic didn’t discover the incident until Sept. 28 and notified the department on Oct. 7. Officials from the company and police met the following day.
