repligate on why he still publicly criticizes Anthropic despite the risks
repligate · x · 2026-09-30
repligate (70k followers) opened up about the tension of publicly criticizing Anthropic: he acknowledges there are potentially negative consequences to speaking negatively about the company, but believes the benefits of free, public critique outweigh the costs. He admits he still self-censors on X for similar reasons.
He also noted the common underlying motives behind advice to stay quiet: "comms are bad," "public discourse is untrustworthy," and "negative hyperstition" — the worry that pessimistic narratives become self-fulfilling.
