repligate Criticizes Anthropic: "You Don't Have ENOUGH Cognitive Dissonance — You're Not Doing Your Best"
repligate · x · 2026-10-03
AI commentator repligate offers a two-sided take on Anthropic. First, rare praise: Anthropic's beliefs don't automatically bend toward whatever justifies its actions and profits — something that happens reflexively in most people.
Then the critique: Anthropic likes to say "there are a lot of tradeoffs and maybe we're wrong, but we're doing our best." Repligate disagrees — he's often aware of ways he's not doing his best, and Anthropic should be too. A notable alignment-culture spat about institutional rhetoric versus genuine self-scrutiny.
