Per unusualwhales citing reporting by The Prospect, Anthropic is reportedly developing a "predictive" surveillance system to monitor anti-AI activists, potentially alerting police before a crime occurs.
beffjezos (Guillaume Verdon) shared the news with a jab: "Are they going to track e/acc's as well?" If confirmed, the report would put an AI-safety-branded lab at the center of a privacy and surveillance controversy.
