Is it healthy? Maybe every company is a profit-maximizer wearing a skin suit, and people support their siblings exactly twice as much as their cousins.
When you slice down to the game-theory-optimal bone, you are, in some sense, cutting off their wiggle room to do anything else
I take your point, but the AI race is a strange environment. We see wild claims being thrown out all the time from other companies and executives with little to no evidence. It's cut-throat, there's a ton of money at stake.
All I'm saying is that Anthropic isn't unique here. Their claims may be more measured by comparison and come with anecdotal evidence, but the hype is still there behind the scenes.
