When the AI company only wants to be 99% Hitler (They’re okay with their bot recommending bombing minorities overseas, but they don’t want to be held liable when it pushes the button and the bomb comes down in America instead)

Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.

Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the “less bad guys”.

Reports of Anthropic’s moral fiber have been greatly exaggerated:

Anthropic publicly praised President Trump’s AI Action Plan… We have been supportive of the President’s efforts to expand energy provision in the US in order to win the AI race.

Oh, I am not saying they’re not still opportunistic money-chasers. Hence the comment about there not being any good AI companies. To me though, their reluctance on some topics and honest admissions on the capabilities of their AI make it appear that they less happy to throw all principals overboard in the race to win the AI market than the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Musk.
