"Purely in my personal capacity": Anthropic safety discourse gets the meme treatment
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-09-09
Amid frontier-lab employees signing safety statements and researchers speaking "in a personal capacity," a poster mocks the pattern with a parody voice: working on "friendly, SAFE, delightful supergenius things" at Anthropic while disclaiming any official stance — "I just use Codex and want a lil Navier-Stokes cookie, purely in my personal capacity, pls no bully."
It's classic AI-circle drama, turning the tension between doomer safety takes and continued participation in the race into a meme.
