AI safety drama: independent safety experts are 'selected for disliking Anthropic'
EigenGender · x · 2026-10-25
In an exchange with matthewktromp, EigenGender observes that independent AI safety experts are now heavily selected for disliking Anthropic — skeptics have long drifted elsewhere. He notes many external people were once fans who joined because it was a high-impact place to do safety work.
The thread is part of a broader dispute over whether Anthropic is accelerating toward RSI without knowing how to make that go well, exposing a widening rift in the AI safety community over the company's direction.
