The prompt

A few days ago I saw some people criticizing Dwarkesh’s explanation of the HuggingFace hack by OpenAI’s AI agents. Their point was that by anthropomorphizing the AI agents, accountability of and blame on OpenAI’s poor practices are being ignored. Now I see this blog post and wonder if Anthropic is being more true to its name and moving to “AI sentience” with the below. > The way they handle abusive conversations has changed a bit too.
