in claude i created a group of experts from several fields needed for COVID models for the US from 2019–2022, then asked "use the above to create predictive modeling for Hantavirus in the US from 2025-2027". Claude flagged response was:
Chat paused
Sonnet 4.6's safety filters flagged this chat. Due to its advanced capabilities, Sonnet 4.6 has additional safety measures that occasionally pause normal, safe chats. We're working to improve this. Continue your chat with Sonnet 4, , or learn more.

Do they not want people to know how serious or unserious hanta is?
The difference between armchair disease researcher and home-grown bioterrorist is too fine a line for anyone to evaluate accurately without an interview, so they’re correct in erring on the side of false negative rejections here (and as their message indicates, they accepted that outcome). Creating disease spread maps and evaluating virus function are two of the ways I’m seeing people in this post try to armchair this problem; neither are necessary. I don’t have any recommendations other than “take a basic infectious disease college course” so that y’all can learn to assess these things without resorting to asking an AI to model epidemics.
