I know, that’s the position Dario Amodei argues for in his essays. I did pass their cultural interview and had to consume a lot of their content to prepare, I think I have a good idea of their stated values. But what the company does and what the leadership states their vision is is pretty contradictory.

They are providing everything bad guys need to develop their unaligned frontier models. Chinese models that Dario considers to be dangerous are distilled from Claude, and they know this.

They are creating the FOMO around AI which pushes adversary countries to invest so much into unaligned models.

They offer models as a service they know are jailbreakable and can be used by bad actors.

They are running internal red-team experiments without adequate isolation.

If I take their statements seriously, AGI research should really be seen as bioweapon, or cloning, or nuclear research. Something strictly regulated worldwide, with export controls for HBM and other hardware used for AI training. What they are trying is instead to boost their position by becoming too big to fail and too powerful to ban, but then want the industry to be regulated to pull the ladder behind them. It really doesn’t feel they are serious about their values, otherwise they wouldn’t be offering Mythos (a model that is unsafe from their own admission) as a service to their close partners
