I looked up a researcher's email today. Asked Claude, and it refused! It said it is private information. The thing is that the email is in the researcher's own papers. He printed it there as his contact address so people could reach him. That's what it's for. Two years ago, models just answered this. Now there's a guardrail treating a public contact detail like a leaked phone number. I understand the worry about spam. But finding one researcher to email is not that, and I would expect that at this point (so close to agi!!!) the model would know the difference. I think it's a major problem with models, and we saw it in the latest Mythos release when Anthropic banned so many topics due to false positives. We need to have a public discussion about safety and privacy, and what the level of errors that we are aiming for is
