Anthropic's vague AI-risk statement slammed as 'mealy-mouthed corporate speak'
sjgadler · x · 2026-09-10

Safety advocates are calling it cowardly corporate speak: if the most safety-conscious AI lab can't speak candidly about risks now, critics ask, when will it? The dustup highlights the gap between Anthropic's safety branding and its actual public communications.
