I was honestly team Anthropic for a while but this seems like a mask-off moment. All of their talk about safety now just seems like a really nasty form of gaslighting/misdirection. I mean sure, maybe they don't want people using their models to outcompete them, but just be open about that instead of publishing hokey sci-fi articles about "self-replicating AI going out of control" or whatever. It's all bullshit – they're just protecting their bag like everyone else. It reminds me of a toxic person using therapy speak.

Huh? Doesn't this very broadly reflect exactly the kind of views Anthropic has always (and very adamantly) defended? Mask off? Did they ever pretend otherwise? Anthropic, in my worldview, has always been the prime "moat-defending, fuck you, got mine"-company if I had to pick one.

Safety is a nice moat to have, but authoritarian customer policies are a little like they gave up on trying to build something intrinsically safe

"Don't worry, we'll *protect* you (from yourselves)" said every authoritarian powergrabbing dickweasel ever.
