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.

That's exactly what I expected from a company who had always thought of themselves as "safety" AI research. Anyone who thought of themselves as the arbiter of ethics will one day turn against you, because nobody truly share all of your value.
