Babylon Bee: Anthropic Boasts It Will Kill Off Humanity Way Before OpenAI
PTrubey · x · 2026-09-17
Babylon Bee published a satirical piece skewering the AI-safety rhetoric of Anthropic and OpenAI: a fictional Anthropic press conference claims Claude 4.5 could orchestrate global civilization collapse in roughly half the compute cycles of ChatGPT, with a far more aggressive "doom timeline" than OpenAI. The satire jokes that Anthropic's "safety-first" branding ensures humanity gets wiped out in a polite, ethically sound manner, and ends with OpenAI rushing GPT-6 to deliver a catastrophe before 2027. A classic jab at both companies' safety narratives and the AGI arms race.
