- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei pushed back on mockery of the company's strict biology safeguards, saying students complain daily but "I'd rather they make fun of me than wake up one day and discover someone used Claude to kill a bunch of people."
- He added that misuse prevention shouldn't be Anthropic's or the AI industry's responsibility alone.
- Safety researcher Heidy Khlaaf rebutted the remarks, pointing to Anthropic's partnership with Palantir and the use of its "unreliable models" domestically and internationally in military applications that do kill people.
