🔔 IF Anthropic is for real about safety, the should pause, for one month, and show leadership.
If they won’t pause, even briefly, we have a different kind of answer about what is real and what is marketing.
Especially after the games they played with Mythos, it is time for them to put up or shut up.
(and correspondingly, dear readers, if you are for real, you should consider reposting this.)

As my entire feed is criticizing Anthropic, I think that the team there genuinely believes what they’re saying. It’s not a marketing/anticompetitive tactic. They genuinely believe these models are dangerous and that AI research should be slowed down.
