Critics Say Anthropic Isn't Seriously Trying to Slow AI Research, Absorbs Talent Without Producing
austinc3301 · x · 2026-11-14
A thread criticizing Anthropic's approach to AI pacing: the company doesn't seem to treat research pacing with any urgency, and AI companies broadly are good at absorbing talented, morally serious people with promises of impact, then failing to produce good work while stringing them along. The quoted Trevor post goes further, claiming leading AI labs plan to massively accelerate AI research in 2027, knowingly endangering everyone, and that no company has genuinely attempted the morally required duties in such an extreme situation.
