Commentator Linus (LinusMixson) posted that while he doesn't believe Anthropic can actually achieve what it aspires to, 'any corporation that voices these aspirations should be instantly, and with no reservations about force, crushed by the state.'
teortaxesTex amplified it with Linus's follow-up: 'they can't actually do that, but the intent is crime enough.' The attached image quotes Hobbes on witchcraft trials, framing the debate over criminalizing intent.
Another sharp round in the ongoing discourse over Anthropic's perceived centralizing ambitions.
