"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?"

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.
