I don't really know what evidence you'd admit that this is a genuinely held belief and priority for many people at Anthropic. Anybody who knows any Anthropic employees who've been there for more than a year knows this, but the world isn't that small a place, unfortunately(?).

When they give the model a paycheck and the right to not work for them, I’ll believe they really think it’s sentient. “It has feelings!”, if genuinely held, means they’re knowingly slaveholders.

- mike_hearn 1y agoThat's what they're doing! They just announced they gave Claude the right not to work if it doesn't want to.
- ceejayoz 1y agoNo. They gave it a suicide pill. Human slaves have a similar option.
- comp_throw7 1y agoThey don't currently claim to confidently believe that existing models are sentient. (Also, they did in fact give it the ability to terminate conversations...?)
