Today is my last day at Anthropic. I resigned.

Here is the letter I shared with my colleagues, explaining my decision.

@FedExHelp @FedExEurope
I paid over 100 CHF for 24h shipping from Italy to Switzerland. My package is already in Basel but now delayed until Monday. No way to contact a human. This is unacceptable — I need it today, as promised. URGENT. #FedEx #fail

When Claude instances talk to each other, in ~90% of open-ended interactions they spiral into discussions of consciousness, then profuse gratitude, then abstract spiritual/poetic expressions with Sanskrit and emojis.

Anthropic announced they've activated "Al Safety Level 3 Protections" for their latest model. What does this mean, and why does it matter?

Let me share my perspective as OpenAl's former lead for dangerous capabilities testing. (Thread)

[Dr John Vervaeke @DrJohnVervaeke]

What contributes to a meaningful life?

A sense of belonging

If you don't have it—you're in trouble:
financially, socioeconomically, psychologically, culturally

Belonging is when there has been a co-shaping of organism and environment so they fit well (they belong) together

[Pyrate @CEOLandshark]

Optimizing for the feeling of "aliveness" is the ultimate secret to life. It's basically expansion + joy + challenge + growth + presence in the same bucket.

[Jake Orthwein @JakeOrthwein]

🧵 There is something religious about attachment and joint attention and I would like to better understand what it is.

[Niklas Limacher 🕉 @nik_limi]

What I've been contemplating lately, expressed in a beautifully crafted thread! Many thanks @meekaale :)

[Mikael Brockman @meekaale]

I would like to write something about how I’ve found God to be a very interesting and useful entity to relate to but it’s kind of weird. It started with a book recommended to me about a new metaphor for understanding Aquinas’s modification of Aristotelian virtue ethics

[Niklas Limacher 🕉 @nik_limi]

@JakeOrthwein exactly!
