yahoo news | ’How Do We Make Sure That Claude Behaves Itself?’: Anthropic Invited 15 Christians for a Summit

The morals of Anthropic co‑founder and CEO Dario Amodei are shaped, at least in part, by the philosophy of effective altruism—an idea that, in theory if not in practice, places helping others above all else. The company’s name is a playful removal of the negative prefix “mis‑” from “misanthropic,” hinting at an unspoken slogan such as “we are pro‑human.” Anthropic’s recent moral spat with the Pentagon quickly became the biggest tech news story of the year, prompting speculation about a $380 billion‑valued firm whose flagship product’s explosive popularity is directly tied to automating labor and whose self‑description claims it has “more in common with the Department of War than we have differences,” while simultaneously trying to insert moral considerations into the tech discourse.

Late last month, Anthropic reportedly “dosed itself” with specifically Christian morality, according to the Washington Post. Four sources who attended a two‑day summit at Anthropic’s San Francisco headquarters said the company hosted 15 prominent Christians for meetings and a dinner with researchers. Participants, including practicing Catholic Brian Patrick Green—who teaches AI ethics at Santa Clara University—sought advice on the moral formation of Claude, the firm’s AI assistant, even debating whether Claude could be considered a “child of God.” Green asked, “What does it mean to give someone a moral formation? How do we make sure that Claude behaves itself?” a formulation that places a great deal of agency on the software rather than on the humans who create and use it.

Among the attendees was Brendan McGuire, an Irish‑born Catholic priest with a tech background, who told the Post that Anthropic is “growing something that they don’t fully know what it’s going to turn out as” and emphasized the need to “build ethical thinking into the machine so it’s able to adapt dynamically.” Interpretability researchers—those trying to understand why AI models behave as they do—were heavily involved, and discussions of AI sentience featured prominently. The company says it plans to bring in moral thinkers from other faith traditions, hinting at future Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu sessions. Interestingly, the latest unreleased version of Claude shows a fixation on late Marxist philosopher Mark Fisher, suggesting a possible summit with Fisher devotees that could further broaden the conversation.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei today called out a Washington Post op-ed published days before the Islamabad talks that explicitly recommended assassinating Iranian negotiators if negotiations fail.

The piece, by Marc Thiessen, states: "carry out a final barrage of leadership strikes, eliminating the Iranian officials who had been spared for the purpose of negotiations... If they refuse to do so, they will be killed."

WaPo emails me today

The story they lead with and quote in their header?

"The lonely photographs of Bryon Noem"

(lib snowflake bonus points for Bryon and not Brian?)

If I happen to scroll past that?

"US fighter jet shot down in Iran" (in effect)

?!?!

THAT WAS HIDDEN!

I just... I can't. No. No more with WaPo.

WaPo: your priorities are a joke, as a supposed news org in a time of serious stuff going on. Shame on you people.
