Are you saying the CEO of Anthropic isn't reasonable? or Klarna?

The CEO of Anthropic is the least reasonable person in this discussion.

Surely you can see how insanely biased all of their statements would be. They are literally selling the shovels in this gold rush.

Anything they say will be in service of promoting AI, even the bad/cautionary stuff because they know there's an audience who will take it the other way (or will choose to jump in to not be left behind), and also news is news, it keeps people talking about AI.

Of course not. CEOs are Chief Narrative Officers, one of their main functions is to craft and push a message (which is different than collating and reporting facts). Reason doesn’t not factor in.

For the record, as the author of this piece, I do not think anybody should factor what the CEO of Anthropic thinks into their decisions. There is in fact a section on this argument in the post. It's short, so it's easy to miss.
