Safety researchers call out Amodei for dodging substance in Anthropic AI bill debate
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-10-21
A debate over Anthropic's AI policy stance: Dario Amodei, replying to Nathan Calvin, praised oversight work, admitted some Anthropic mistakes, and argued harsh criticism of big companies is healthy — but framed his reply around the general case that "Anthropic cares about AI safety." Boosters CharlieBull0ck and Miles Brundage counter that he sidestepped the object-level question: whether Anthropic's bill itself is good or even acceptable. They note only a handful of DC AI policy professionals have actually read the bill, while people inside Anthropic understand what it does and why — and still aren't engaging with that core dispute.
