Already so many EAs work at Anthropic that it is shielded from scrutiny within EA
What makes you think this? Zach’s post is a clear counterexample here (though comments are friendlier to Anthropic) and I’ve heard of criticism of the RSPs (though I’m not watching closely).
Maybe you think there should be much more criticism?
There should be protests against them (PauseAI US will be protesting them in SF 2⁄28) and we should all consider them evil for building superintelligence when it is not safe! Dario is now openly calling for recursive self-improvement. They are the villains—this is not hard. The fact that you would think Zach’s post with “maybe” in the title is scrutiny is evidence of the problem.
