Anthropic’s chief science officer Jared Kaplan told TIME in an exclusive interview. “We didn't really feel, with the rapid advance of AI, that it made sense for us to make unilateral commitments … if competitors are blazing ahead.”

Kaplan, the Anthropic executive and co-founder, denied the company’s decision to change course was a capitulation to market incentives as the race for superintelligence accelerates.

Amazing. You can literally state this as
"While we're doing this because other people in the market can move faster if they don't also have this restriction, meaning the market is providing incentives to remove this restriction, we categorically deny that removing this restriction has anything to do with market incentives."
