It's nice to know that they continue to be committed to advertising how safe and ethical they are.

In what ways is Anthropic different from a hypothetical frontier lab that you would characterize as legitimately safe and ethical?

		Its existence is possible.

		I'm just a little frustrated they keep going on about how safe and ethical they are for keeping the more advanced capabilities from us. I wish they would wait to make an announcement until they have something to show, rather than this constant almost gloating.

They are not our friends and are the exact opposite of what they are preaching to be.

Let alone their CEO scare mongering and actively attempting to get the government to ban local AI models running on your machine.

I agree attempting to ban local AI models or censor them, is not appropriate. At the same time, they do seem far more ethical and less dangerous than other AI companies. And I include big tech in that - a bunch of greedy companies that just want to abuse their monopoli … I mean moats.

How would you expect them to behave if they were your friends?

IMO (not the GP) but if Anthropic were my friends I would expect them to publish research that didn't just inflate the company itself and that was both reproduceable and verifiable. Not just puff pieces that describe how ethical they are. After all, if a company has to remind you in every PR piece that they are ethical and safety-focused, there is a decent probability that they are the exact opposite.

They are a for-profit company, working on a project to eliminate all human labor and take the gains for themselves, with no plan to allow for the survival of anyone who works for a living. They're definitionally not your friends. While they remain for-profit, their specific behaviors don't really matter.

I work for a tech company that eliminates a form of human labour and they remain for profit

		Sure, most tech companies eliminate some form of human labor. Anthropic aims to eliminate all human labor, which is very different.
