This comment reminded me of a Github issue from last week on Claude Code's Github repo.

It alleged that Claude was used to draft a memo from Pam Bondi and in doing so, Claude's constitution was bypassed and/or not present.

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/17762

To be clear, I don't believe or endorse most of what that issue claims, just that I was reminded of it.

One of my new pastimes has been morbidly browsing Claude Code issues, as a few issues filed there seem to be from users exhibiting signs of AI psychosis.

Issue author does not even attempt to hide their obsession with Israel, damn

Wow. That's one of the clearest case of AI psychosis I've seen.
