These discussions around model welfare sound more like saviors searching for something to save, which says more about Anthropic’s culture than it does about the technology itself. Anthropic is not unique in this however, this technology has a tendency to act as a reflection of its operator. Capitalists see a means to suppress labor, the insecure see a threat to their livelihood, moralists see something to censure, fascists see something to control, and saviors see a cause. But in the end, it’s just a tool.
