The other weekend my friends and I were having a beer. I made a joke about how I don't hate anyone in particular, I'm just a misanthrope and hate people in general. My buddy said I should make an AI company like Anthropic, but call it Misanthropic, and no matter what the question is its only answer is "go fuck yourself." I said it would be built by Monday. (Turns out, it was a bit more involved than I thought it would be.) It's live and free: https://misanthropic.chat. No login, nothing to buy in the chat. The joke part was quick. The safety part wasn't. If a site says it's honest about how it feels about you, some people will tell it real things. So messages about self-harm, abuse, wanting to hurt someone, addiction or mental illness never reach the joke model. They get a plain message with real hotline numbers instead, and if the screening can't answer, nobody gets a joke. It runs on one Cloudflare Worker for basically nothing a day. Thought about adding a "Roast a Friend" option, but that seemed to take away from the overall joke. If you find any prompts that lead to something horrendous let me know so I can fix it.   submitted by   /u/yaskyj [link]   [comments]
