Is Anthropic aiming for AGI or are they focused on bringing more products on the market?

Their goal is to research AI safety. To advance AI safety knowledge. Making money is just a necessity evil. (I am serious)

I watched an interview on Youtube with one of their founders. He says he doesn't like the term AGI because AGI can simply mean the AI will be as good as professional humans on most tasks. He thinks that goal will be achieved in a few years but didn't talk specifics of what they are working on or if their company would be the one to do it.

He also dabbled a bit in AI doomerism as all these people doing AI interviews like to do.
