> Anthropic occupies a peculiar position in the AI landscape: a company that genuinely believes it might be building one of the most transformative and potentially dangerous technologies in human history, yet presses forward anyway. This isn't cognitive dissonance but rather a calculated bet—if powerful AI is coming regardless, Anthropic believes it's better to have safety-focused labs at the frontier than to cede that ground to developers less focused on safety (see our core views).
Ah, yes, safety, because what is more safe than to help DoD/Palantir kill people[1]?
No, the real risk here is that this technology is going to be kept behind closed doors, and monopolized by the rich and powerful, while us scrubs will only get limited access to a lobotomized and heavily censored version of it, if at all.
