i get strange vibes with non-philosophers defending philosophers' employement
idk the anthropic girlie and ill look into her but it's clear you're all very ideologically motivated and your support is basically irrespective of her specific role or work
shrug, her public appearances seem rather tame and relatively unopinionated, it's very clear it is a profession in that even if she's passionate about it, she's fairly on board with the general mission and direction and her considerations are appropriate to that role. underwhelming but expected
just like the type of tensions she's concerned about, and in most cases it feels like applied ethics is where the has the most to say, which of course makes sense but is also rather uninteresting and not like she has wildly varying perspectives from her organization
lol looking back at her earlier publications is funny, probably unfair to form judgements that way but it's like very normie-tier stuff
it's not *that* unfair considering ai is kind of an emerging field and getting a sense for her interests prior to pivoting gives some extra perspective
also i don't think im gonna look into this too much more, a lot of this is inta-ai-community relevant and i simply don't care that much
so like for example im not gonna read the claude constitution back to front and develop strong takes or critiques, even most of the co-authored work she's contributed to is basically uneventful
