Why answer questions about harmlessness/safety in such a roundabout way? Both OpenAI and Anthropic are clear about what words like "safe" are intended to mean: a stepping stone to "AI does not kill all people when given control".

Avoiding to state this clearly only invites unnecessary culture war disagreements in every discussion about these models.

Maybe you’re right. It’s partially laziness on my part — it takes a while to explain long-term issues, and those who are inclined to care about them are generally aware of who started Anthropic and why.
