Dario on biology safeguards: "I'd rather they make fun of me" than Claude be used to kill

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei pushes back on critics of Claude's strict biology safeguards: "Almost every day I'm made fun of on social media... biology students complain." He says he'd rather be mocked than wake up to find Claude was used to kill people, while noting safety shouldn't be his or Anthropic's burden alone. Critics counter: what if safeguards block research that could have saved lives?
