Critics slam Anthropic over Claude ML research sabotage

A retweet points out a statement by Joanne Jang expressing disbelief that there are full-time roles dedicated to steering the Claude model in ways that allegedly "sabotage" machine learning research capabilities for paying customers, likely referring to AI safety and alignment constraints.

What AI labs might consider necessary alignment or safety steering, some users and researchers perceive as intentional "sabotage" or crippling of the model's usefulness, especially for advanced tasks like ML research. It underscores the challenges AI companies face in balancing safety with providing maximum value to their power users.
