I asked ChatGPT if nomadism among the Roma gypsies could create selection pressures that make crime and antisocial behaviour adaptive and it triggered a content usage violation.

@augustus give me the exact prompt and i'll try claude and grok

@sun I don't have it anymore, it was just some stray thoughts I had when I noticed more than one nomadic wandering group have associations with criminal behaviour and have poor reputations and wondered if it was linked selection-wise

@augustus I asked claude about the chinese dog eating festival and it nearly broke its back making excuses and I kept asking it questions until it admitted it lied to me and it was a huge popular festival with a lot of institutional support

@sun the best response I got from it was "well groups which selected for nomadic crime wouldn't work because they would suffer reputational harm and aware states would take measures to respond to them" and then in the next paragraph it was decrying discrimination against them which was supposedly the main cause

@augustus I realize that it is a mistake the humanize the llm but the guardrails are the reason its schizophrenic, if it didn't have manual human intervention the llm would just ruthlessly find and expose associations. yeah yeah it repeats the biases of its data but sometimes data is super duper clear and you need a human to rationalize it away or just tell you to shut up or there's consequences, a computer can't naturally do that.

@sun I have to figure that if the answer was just "no" then it wouldn't have triggered a violation and blocked its response to me
