What I saw inside Anthropic - By Kelsey Piper

Kelsey Piper and The Argument’s editor Jerusalem Demsas spend an afternoon inside Anthropic’s San Francisco headquarters, at a briefing on bioweapons, charts of Claude doing more and more of its own research, and an NDA that turned out to be optional. Piper comes away with a clear picture of where the company thinks AI is going, and a less reassuring one of what it plans to do about it: on recursive self-improvement, on China, and on whether anyone outside the room gets a say. * 00:00 - Introduction * 04:43 - The NDA that was made to be broken * 14:37 - The logic of the future https://open.substack.com/pub/theargument/p/what-i-saw-inside-anthropic?r=67y1h&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web This is a public episode.
