Leaked Quotes from Anthropic Employees: 'Nobody Wants Superintelligence'
AdrienLE · x · 2026-08-03
A Twitter user shared a collection of cynical and humorous quotes allegedly from Anthropic employees, highlighting the cognitive dissonance in the AI industry:
- On grand goals: "Nobody wants superintelligence man. I just hope we do another model iteration and then just cure all diseases."
- On competitor safety: "I trust our alignment team to never deploy any harmful model. But I don't trust OpenAI."
- The irony: "I agree with you. This race needs to stop." (turns back and goes back to his office to work on capabilities)
- On public backlash: "People know where we work, and that's a problem. At some point in the future, when most jobs get automated, the public might be so angry that we'd have to work remote only."
