What is the purpose of publicly deploying Claude? It seems like this will only have the effect of increasing arms race dynamics. If the reason is just to fund further safety research, then I think this is worth saying explicitly.
If I remember correctly, Claude had limited public deployment roughly a month before the Google investment, and roughly 2 months after their biggest funder (FTX) went bankrupt.

This would surprise me, given the funding available to Anthropic anyway?
