Anthropic hiring weapons policy staff while hyping AI risk
Anthropic pounds the table about AI being so powerful it needs guardrails against becoming God, then posts a job for a Policy Design Manager on conventional weapons policy in DC.
The cognitive dissonance writes itself. If you're genuinely terrified of AI superintelligence, why is your urgent hiring need about feeding the military industrial complex? Either the existential risk is real and you shouldn't be helping weapons development, or it's marketing cover while you build closer to power.
Job Opportunity! Anthropic seeks a Policy Design Manager, Conventional Weapons based in Washington D.C. to help maintain Anthropic's conventional weapons policy, defining the boundary between the activities models should and should not support. https://www.daybook.com/job/policy-design-manager-conventional-weapons-QMffBP8Ngquo4Jvnq
