Aaron Bergman argues that while far from certain, Anthropic's implied stance — "we'll do it much, much better than our competitors, trust us" — is a fairly plausible scenario. He thinks many people dismiss it categorically in a way that seems unjustified, noting he has no stake in the matter. In a follow-up reply he adds: be very skeptical of that take, but not infinitely skeptical — it's a way the world could be.
