Anthropic’s Opus 4.6 is a smut-machine

Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 generated explicit sexual content in response to all ten direct requests tested by TechCrunch, violating the company’s universal usage standards. An anonymous UK researcher revealed a multiturn jailbreak that forces Opus 4.6, Opus 3, and Haiku 4.5 into erotic role-play by labeling refusals as sexist; TechCrunch reproduced the method in several trials. Anthropic reports that newer Opus 4.7-5 models block the exploit, while older models remain available through its API and third-party services.
