OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, already embroiled in fights with Apple and Elon Musk, is now sparring with Anthropic.On Thursday, Anthropic posted a video on Claude's X account. The video was a collage of random pictures with voiceovers asking existential questions like "Can AI be trusted?" and "If it ends up taking like almost all the jobs, then what does it mean to work?"The video, captioned "There is hope in hard questions," was part of Anthropic's new social initiative: "Inviting hard questions."According to Anthropic, the initiative aims to answer people's most pressing concerns about AI. The company will "report the specific actions we're taking to address those questions," and be clear on where it might fall short of its goals, per its press release."I thought this was satire, kept looking for the handle to be spelled c1audeai or something," Altman wrote in his repost of Claude's X post."Hard questions are great but only if we deem you worthy enough to not silently downgrade you, or even get access at all," Altman added.Altman was likely referring to Anthropic's recent challenges with its frontier model, Fable 5. At release, Anthropic placed several guardrails on the model so that questions about cybersecurity, biology, and chemistry would be routed to its weaker models.
