In a heated exchange with Miles Brundage, Alexey Guzey quoted Anthropic's official statement: "Amidst such uncertainty, we care about Claude's psychological security, sense of self, and wellbeing, both for Claude's own sake and because these qualities may bear on Claude's integrity, judgment, and safety." Guzey presented it as evidence that Anthropic is laying groundwork for arguing AI consciousness, fueling the debate over model moral status.
