When you read something like this it demands that you frame Claude in your mind as something on par with a human being which to me really indicates how antisocial these companies are.

Ofc it's in their financial interest to do this, since they're selling a replacement for human labor.

But still. This fucking thing predicts tokens. Using a 3b, 7b, or 22b sized model for a minute makes the ridiculousness of this anthropomorphization so painfully obvious.

Funny, because to me is the inability to recognize the humanity of these models that feels very anti-humanistic. When I read rants like these I think "oh look, someone who doesn't actually know how to recognize an intelligent being and just sticks to whatever rigid category they have in mind".
