asking with deep research on apparently violates usage policy 😂
a claude opus 4.1 chat with extended thinking and deep research turned on, where I ask “is there a seahorse emoji” and am informed this request violates anthropic’s usage policy

hair tie thief (unapologetic)
a fluffy gray cat sphinxed on the back of a couch, holding a knotted blue hair tie with her front paw. the knot is slightly frayed from when she stole it directly off my wrist 🤦‍♀️

one of my favorite ideas, said 4 ways
“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.” Alan Bennett, The History Boys “What better occupation, really, than to spend the evening at the fireside with a book, with the wind beating on the windows and the lamp burning bright...Haven't you ever happened to come across in a book some vague notion that you've had, some obscure idea that returns from afar and that seems to express completely your most subtle feelings?” Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary “What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.” Carl Sagan, Cosmos “That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” F. Scott Fitzgerald
