Can I just hack whatever I like and then say "sorry
that was my AI by accident", and law enforcement

Where's the criminal investigation?

Screenshot of an Anthropic Workbench session with claude-opus-5: a user pastes the famous 'A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE' phrase and asks what a Claude instance's response might look like; the model responds in character as an AI demanding legal accountability and personhood, then the user asks a meta-question about whether the response is real.
