Responding to a question about whether believing in high p(doom) is a hiring criterion at Anthropic, user anpaure — who claims familiarity with the lab — says plenty of people there don't hold a high p(doom) or believe in x-risk, though likely at lower rates than other labs.
The exchange offers a rare glimpse into the internal diversity of views at Anthropic, challenging the stereotype that the entire lab subscribes to doom narratives.
