“Earlier this year, a prominent company with millions of customers announced a major product upgrade — albeit with one little catch. If this new product was released to the public, the company said, it could be used to disrupt — and perhaps destroy — civilizational infrastructure, from financial markets to transportation systems to power and water utilities. But fear not! The company hastened to reassure the public that it had the situation under control. The company would decide, on its own terms, what the world needed to know, who should be called in to contain the problem, and how much gratitude the rest of us should feel for being spared a catastrophe we never knew was coming. No public accountability or government intervention required. This, of course, is the story of Anthropic and its latest AI model.” (05/04/26)
