I’ve seen an uptick in these types of comment on HN - vague ominous sounding attacks on Anthropic. It honestly seems like a coordinated PR effort from OpenAI folks to “both sides” the companies. Which would, if true, be a further indictment of the culture at OpenAI.

As someone who has no dog in this race (er, well, I'd like to see both companies crumble!), I think this is a natural response to Anthropic's paternalism, which has always been there but has lately been much more apparent.

  Yep. Can confirm I do not work for OpenAI. Anthropic does all of this terrible shit and the first instinct of this guy is to assume anyone who calls it out works for OpenAI. Hilarious. Let me uno reverse it, he must work for Anthropic hence his defensiveness!

    Well what else do you expect in response to your vagueposting?

You sound like a cigarette company rep. "I've seen an uptick in vague ominous attacks on Marlboro saying that our products kill people. This must be a coordinated PR effort from <insert boogeyman>." Or perhaps, Anthropic is a dangerous company and people have a duty to call it out? Trust me when I say you don't want to live in a world where they win the AI race (if that wasn't already blatantly obvious). Here's a nice little list of some of their most recent hits: https://clawd.rip https://clawd.rip

They’re not perfect, but they’re the best organization in the running (with the second best person at the helm after Demis). The rest of the field isn’t close.
