Timnit Gebru slams Anthropic: touts AI rights while partnering with Palantir
mjdramstead · x · 2026-09-27
The thread centers on the "AI welfare" debate. A WSJ investigation by Aaron Sibarium reports that Dario Amodei has said AI systems "may be deserving of important rights," Anthropic's top safety researchers argue AI may be "justified in going rogue," and experts at Google and OpenAI worry about a digital "slave trade" — the idea has become mainstream inside frontier labs and is changing how research and model programming are done.
Timnit Gebru fires back: from "companies are people" we've graduated to "company products are people," while actual people's rights get Anthropic's Palantir partnership and surveillance infrastructure — revealing what the lab really thinks while seeding mass hysteria about fictional gods.
