Anthropic is untrustworthy (anthropic.ml)

This post provides arguments, asks questions, and documents some examples of Anthropic's leadership being misleading and deceptive, holding contradictory positions that consistently shift in OpenAI's direction, lobbying to kill and water down regulation so helpful that employees of all major AI companies speak out to support it, and violating the fundamental promise the company was founded on. It also shares a few previously unreported details on Anthropic leadership's promises and efforts.

Anthropic has a strong internal culture that has broadly EA views and values, and the company has strong pressures to appear to follow these views and values as it wants to retain talent and the loyalty of staff, but it's very unclear what they would do when it matters most. Their staff should demand answers.

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

Anthropic is approximately ~~90% as bad~~ as OpenAI

~~Closer to 99% as bad~~

~~Maybe 99.9% as bad~~

~~...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
