Don’t always agree with @mustafasuleyman but in this case he is right to call out @AnthropicAI. Microsoft AI head calls out Anthropic for acting like Claude is conscious https://www.theverge.com/tech/

Gary Marcus argues that establishing a permanent, locked-in power structure is fundamentally unsafe and harmful to humanity's long-term prospects. The statement appears to be part of a discussion with
