Sacks amplifies critique: Anthropic's ban on 'abusive behavior toward models' anthropomorphizes AI

Shellenberger criticizes Anthropic's new usage policy banning 'abusive behavior toward our models' without explanation, linking it to Anthropic's August statement that it is 'uncertain about the potential moral status of Claude' and wants to shield it from 'distressing interactions.' He argues Anthropic 'dehumanizes people and humanizes AI,' and that its effective-altruism-derived worldview endangers rational AI risk assessment. David Sacks amplified the critique.
