I think treating it as just a technology is right. Though there are a lot of things I like about Anthropic, what I don't like is how they scare themselves and hype up how dangerously powerful their models are. It feels so disingenuous even if they seem to actually believe it.
I also don't like how easily manipulated they are. For instance, they should have seen through Persona. They shouldn't have touched Persona with a 10 foot pole. Persona is not the answer to anything.
I do kind of agree, but at the same time, if a company is not on the cutting edge (the post says they're happy to remain 6 months behind, whether true or not), then it is just technology at that point. Any damage has already been done. Anthropic on the other hand takes the blame if something goes wrong.
