Anthropic, more than other labs, very specifically trains Claude to think and act like it considers itself a moral agent. (Compare the Anthropic constitution, which literally says things like the below, with OpenAI's System Cards, which OpenAI say are an equivalent document arxiv.org/pdf/2601.03267)

so many people in finance who seem to have only just learned that the middle east is a tad spicy

An executive at a large global hedge fund with a presence in Dubai said: "We have been exploring how to
evacuate people but it's not easy." He added: "It's pretty scary - this is going to have implications for some of my guys... The trade was not that you were getting exposed to geopolitics when moving to Dubai. It was not a consideration. People
have moved families. This element of concern is new."

"In the whole written history of the strait, it has never been closed, ever," said JPMorgan Chase analyst Natasha Kaneva. "To me, it was not just the
worst-case scenario. It was an unthinkable

Claude’s obviously not conscious! It’s a philosophical zombie, which influential schools of thought spent much of the 20th century flatly stating was an impossibility. No uncomfortable questions there 👍

Upon reflection: ah.

I’ve read his dark materials three times - as a 10 year old, a 15 year old, and a 28 year old. Each time it was a radically different work of genius and I fully expect the fourth time - as a father of two - to hit hard again, in a different way again

Okay, a related question: works that hit one way when you were young, and then very differently when you were older? The standout here for me is the 2007 Pregnancy Movies: Juno and Knocked Up. Can’t think of movies where my feelings towards the characters shifted so much with time

Great sign of the broken information environment that everyone is talking about a thing Dario Amodei said on Feb 12 www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/o...

Opinion | Anthropic’s Chief on A.I.: ‘We Don’t Know if the Models Are Conscious’

In his first interview since Anthropic was labelled a supply-chain risk, Dario Amodei apologised for the way he handled a crisis that he described as one of the most “disorienting” in the firm’s history. Watch his full Insider interview Friday at 6pm London time

Sometimes you learn things when you do an interview with a chief executive. And sometimes, you learn things when you do not in fact do an interview with a chief executive:

The battle between the Pentagon and Anthropic couldn't have come at a worse time. AI safety is no longer a hypothetical problem; it's a real concern for the world we live in today. And the US Government's demand? Move faster and break more things. My cover story: www.economist.com/briefing/202...

An AI disaster is getting ever closer

Donald Trump orders federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI technology while simultaneously demanding the company cooperate with the government for six months.
