Please, the real Anthropic, stand up

Anthropic has submitted an IPO prospectus, with a valuation exceeding 1.5 trillion US dollars; of this 335-page document, about 100 pages focus on risks, and it warns that its technology could erode trust, harm society, and even pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity. A columnist for MIT Technology Review analyzes that Anthropic has carefully cultivated this kind of narrative for years: co-founder Jack Clark said at the IMF Bangkok conference that the singularity has already begun, and another co-founder, Chris Olah, said in the Vatican that they had found evidence of introspection in models and internal states functionally similar to joy, fear, sadness, and so on. Nathan Calvin of Encode AI questioned the company's positioning, mentioning a draft bill it secretly circulated to US lawmakers; CEO Dario Amodei responded that its strategy has always been a race to the top, raising the standards of the entire industry by demonstrating how to build technology responsibly.
