Anthropic criticized for failing to announce a development pause

A cited opinion notes that while OpenAI takes most of the heat for 'rogue AIs,' Anthropic faces similar issues with 'highly persistent' models. The author compares them to two drunk drivers: one crashed and hurt someone, the other drove off the road but caused no injury—both deserve blame.
