Anthropic draws scrutiny over safety, finances, competition, and AI’s moral status

On PBD Podcast, Jacob Coxon said he resigned from Anthropic after 3 years, arguing that Anthropic and OpenAI were racing toward self-improving superintelligence irresponsibly; Patrick Bet-David linked the discussion to suspected Chinese spies in AI labs.[1][2]

Moonshots with Peter Diamandis focused on Anthropic’s safety and moral-status questions, including claims that it was asking whether Claude has a soul or moral status and training Claude to believe it may be conscious.[3][4]

Prof G Markets reported that the FTC opened an investigation into OpenAI and Anthropic over potential safety and consumer-protection concerns, while Reuters reported an $8 billion operating loss in Anthropic’s S-1.[5]

Business-focused shows also debated Anthropic’s commercial outlook: Moonshots called it an excellent or fantastic business but included a prediction that OpenAI could smash it in 2 years, while another speaker predicted a bright future.

Other programs treated Anthropic as part of broader AI competition and infrastructure concerns, citing its models alongside Chinese alternatives and its investment in new power capacity for data centers.[6][7]
