what truly does anthropic want
I’ve been thinking Anthropic is no longer just an AI company.
They run intense culture/values interviews that screen for ideological alignment, actively consult religious leaders (including Christian and interfaith summits) on Claude’s “moral formation,” give high-profile speeches on the future of civilization, and pour significant resources into policy and lobbying.
It feels less like a normal tech lab and more like a political-technical project with unusually large ambitions — one that wants to shape not only the technology, but the values, rules, and power structures of the world that comes after powerful AI.
It sometimes feels like they’re trying to midwife an entirely new world order rather than just build safer models.
Curious how others see it.
