Only one reason I can think that Anthropic would invest money into a project like this.
They must be doing this so activists can connect with each other and unify for the same cause. Strength in awareness and numbers. Anthropic must be a company for the people.
just like Palantir. For the workers.
New hires and comments in interviews show that the AI giant is using its capabilities against dissenters.

Read the damn article.
im p sure theyre being sarcastic friendo
Given how many Anthropic fans there are, I am not entirely sure. Marking sarcasm in text can help.
Read the damn room.
This reminds me of the movie minority report
Finally, we have recreated the Torment Nexus from the classic movie Don’t Create The Torment Nexus
the rule of law no longer applies.
your constitutional rights no longer exist.
you are a criminal slave that exists purely to increase shareholder value.
you haven’t even said “thank you”, scum.
Just what we needed, a little Minority Report salted into the dystopian salad of this fucking timeline.
Yeah but without the benefit of fewer murders happening.
Just preventing effective dissent against a profit-first organisation.
Imagine being so angry that the poor people don’t love you that you speed run singularity to try get revenge.
It’s no wonder they’re going all-in on big data. They can smell the dystopian endgame.
minority report prologue
If Anthropic don’t know you write shit code and want to tear down their entire world, what the fuck are you playing at?
And it will feature plenty of false positives, for your safety, too!
More empty hype from a company that can only produce hallucinations. They cant even determine sentiment without using regex hahaha.
But don’t worry, I am sure they will just use their AGI model to create it which is coming next year ™. Thats only because the openai grifter said their AGI is only 2 years away ™ and its going to build them their revenue stream. Hahaha

The powers do monitor activists on regular internet too and at their meetings in churches and union halls, install spyware on their phones, like they’ve been doing.
The powers do spy,
In churches and union halls,
Plant spyware on phones
Activists from what party?
This is exactly what “I have nothing to hide” should sound exceedingly thin. If “knowledge is power”, then they already have power over you. It will start with “activists“ for “safety purposes,” just like flock, but it ends in totalitarianism.
“A republic, if we can keep it.”
“I have nothing to hide.”
So a camera in your bathroom.
“Why would that be anyone else’s business except my own?”
Exactly.
They’re literally dumb walking into Minority Report and all the other distopian movies. What would you expect.
They are smart walking into that. They want exactly that. It’s you for whom it’s a dystopia.
Honestly I no longer hope for propagation of such abilities to create feedbacks negating them.
Seems to be too much power on the side of centralizing them and using them to build perfect totalitarianism with no laws, because administrative rule doesn’t require laws, just decisions. Laws are required in systems with some power balance depending on common agreement.
At the same time there’s the much slower feedback loop of societies built that way degrading in the span of decades and societies preserving some competitiveness of will progressing. Except this will work as very slow evolutionary selection between shades of the former, because the latter won’t survive the initial stage.
I used this example on my parents. They asked, “Why would there be a camera in my bathroom?” I’m not sure if they ever connected the dots to this day.
You could be doing crimes there mom and dad? Are you making heroin in the bathroom mom and dad? I’m worried enough about the possibility now that I’m going to have to report you to the cops.
They are going to come investigate and you better not be in the bathroom when they get here or they are going to kick down the door for your safety and shoot the dog for assaulting an officer by barking, making the officer fear for their life.
If you then run out of the bathroom confused and yelling about our dead dog, that may rightly be seen by the officer as a threat and attempted murder demanding a justified defensive shooting response - You will be shot in self defense and mom will be arrested as an accessory to attempted murder of an officer.
If you didn’t have anything to hide, you wouldn’t have walls on your home or clothes on/open body cavities where you are clearly concealing weapons with intent to harm. I thought I knew you mom and dad… Look what you made the officers do??
As if activists where bad people who want to hurt society. As if activists where terrorist.
while Anthropic was fast to call the cops on a frustrated Claude user, the Standard also reported a key detail: Anthropic refused to show police the actual messages, citing Anthropic’s internal policy. In short, Anthropic reported a user for in-platform speech, and then refused to provide police with evidence of actual wrongdoing.
Anthropic’s apparent game plan:
- Get a list of anti-AI advocates
- Swat them
- Refuse to show evidence of claims
JFC. I disapprove of all AI companies, but I struggle to gauge how awful Anthropic truly is.
I don’t know. If we’re going to look for the “least bad AI company”, I’d have to go with Google (itself a self-contained shot show), because between Anthropic and OpenAI, plus the platforms leveraging them, what we have is a guaranteed eventual end of humanity. The worst part is that it won’t be because they achieve a super intelligence that figures humans are the problem and goes all “Terminator” on us, but because this will expedite the destruction of the world economy, natural resources and potentially going haywire and firing all the nukes available.
