Blogger: a global vote would overwhelmingly reject Anthropic racing for RSI

Ruben Bloom argues Anthropic isn't racing OpenAI or China but "the rest of society stopping them." He predicts a global referendum on whether Anthropic should pursue recursive self-improvement would overwhelmingly say no — a result he expects to hold even if Eliezer and Dario each got 5 hours briefing every voter. He calls Anthropic's choice a paternalistic, unilateral, unasked-for saving of the world, and wonders if Anthropic staff would dispute the poll outcome.
