José Valim on Anthropic's narrow view of safety (in software engineering)

José Valim posted this video on X:

Anthropic has a narrow view of safety. Their actions in software engineering make me skeptical that they would act responsibly in positions of leadership in other domains.

Video transcription, revised by me:

My issue with Anthropic is that they have a very narrow vision of safety. They talk a lot about LLMs and deploying LLM safely. They write extensively about that. They talk about, you know, when Mythos came out, they talked about cyber security and being able to use the models to exploit existing systems. And those are things that I actually endorse and support.
