> Despite cultivating a reputation as the "ethical" AI company, Zitron argues that Anthropic's actions show they are just as ruthless and ethically questionable as their competitors.

Anthropic has taken 10s of billions from investors just like everyone else has. There is no such thing as "ethics" or "morality" when the scale of obligation is that large.

So yes, this is obvious despite whatever image they try to cultivate.

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation which limits liability to shareholders.

Just because they screwed up their billing doesn't mean every ethical commitment they've ever made is bunk.

At that scale, ethics and morality should become more important, not discarded

Alternatively, finance at that scale ought not be permitted to exist, because of the moral hazard it represents.

You will find that morals and ethics at that scale are too expensive to maintain.

		Then that scale should not be allowed to exist and we should fight aggressively to prevent it
