and yet still preferable to OpenAI, Google, and xAI.

Anthropic is approximately ~~90% as bad~~ as OpenAI
~~...But no worse.~~
Okay, fine, maybe worse. There they go, crawling back to the government.
They keep trying to, but Hegseth formally designated them a supply chain risk just a few hours ago, right after using Claude in Iran.
The better company, despite their efforts to the contrary
You got a genuine laugh outta me. Well put.
Losers fighting other losers, you love to see it:
Anthropic has a strong internal culture that has broadly EA views and values
They mean "effective altruism" in a positive way, but their movement is better defined by two-faced ghouls. I guess Dario Amodei is the latest example, but Sam Bankman-Fried will always be #1 in my book.
I registered the domain name "anthropic.ml" in reference to the philosophical concept of anthropic reasoning, not Anthropic PBC.
Mikhail Samin doth protest too much.
The whole website is self-promo for a suspiciously rich, creepily public person. It's two clicks to his sad dating profile, but only one click to discover he wants to disseminate a weird book by a man accused of sexual abuse in his cultlike compound.
What do the other Yudkowsky Rationalists think? Mostly they sniff their own farts, but one of them breaks out the racism too:
“Anthropic is untrustworthy” is an extremely low-resolution claim. Someone who was trying to help me figure out what’s up with Anthropic should e.g. help me calibrate what they mean...
The other person I’ve drawn the most similar conclusion about was Alexey Guzey... I notice that he and Mikhail are both Russian.
Dr Calipers also starts sharing DMs, which is also funny... Did I mention this is the top response on the website for people who pride themselves on being Rational with a capital R?
