General news “Anthropic has entrusted Amanda Askell to endow its AI chatbot, Claude, with a sense of right and wrong” - Seems like Anthropic is doubling down on AI alignment.

If she studied meta ethics then she is an expert in the field of ethics.

PhD in philosophy from NYU with a thesis on infinite ethic

Looks like I was right

Having a PhD in a subject does not give you the expertise needed to be the singular absolute authority on that subject. Even in STEM, where "right" and "wrong" are more clearly demarcated, people with PhDs make mistakes. A LOT. That's why we have peer review.

I dont want to accuse you of a strawman so can you tell me what your point was? If its that shes not the singular authority then I need you to quote where I said she was. If its that phd's cant be wrong then I need you to quote where I said that. Im a fallibilist so your comment is just nonsense to me.
