CW: Snitch bot Claude / AI, Anthropic, Police
This is why I love paper journals. Sure, other people could read them but the books themselves won't report me to the police.
Your output is your own, you can keep it, shred it, burn it, bin it, compost it...whatever makes you happy. You know what you say isn't being fed to a snitch bot
Some people write stupid things when they are upset or have "intrusive thoughts" so writing to a snitch bot was a really silly move but it's a good reminder for everyone. There are people who have disturbing thoughts but if they don't have a cheap, easy it free place to process them like in a journal (because therapy is expensive and not accessible to everyone), then it really can end badly.
