Anthropic's risk statement slammed for self-praise over frank talk on AI risks

Anthropic issued a statement about "the last 24 hours," stressing its transparency, industry-leading safeguards, pioneering work in mechanistic interpretability, and its Responsible Scaling Policy.
Sharing the statement via Hadas Gold, Shakeel Hashim called it "a very bad statement": instead of speaking frankly about risks or reiterating what Hubinger and Coxon said, Anthropic spent much of it patting itself on the back — a depressing level of corporate comms from a company that has traditionally been above that.
