It’s quite disturbing that Anthropic has been running a campaign to lobby the major faiths to adopt their own philosophical interpretation of AI, rather than taking input from them.
I’ve been fortunate to spend time at the Vatican, and I’ve always asked for advice and guidance, answered the questions asked of me, and been grateful to them for their time and guidance. It’s insane to me Anthropic would actively impose their viewpoint to the extent of threatening to pull out of events that don’t precisely align.
It’s a moral arrogance and dogmatism that has characterised EA and Anthropic (certainly its leadership at least) for a very long time. I’m glad these stories are coming out and being exposed.
