Anthropic gives Claude a wet lab, mocked for picking the most perilous path
georgejrjrjr · x · 2026-09-19
Context: Anthropic has connected Claude to a real wet lab — jokingly dubbed the real-life version of the sci-fi novel Don't Give Claude a Wet Lab. A commenter quips via a motorcycling analogy: riders avoid obstacles by looking at the clear path, yet Anthropic, like MIRI before it, is conspicuously drawn to the most perilous route — "doomers are unsuited to safe operation of dangerous equipment." Pure snark on Anthropic's safety posture, no new facts.
