Are you assuming that anyone claiming to be doing good things must be lying? And then getting angry at them both for not doing the good thing and for the lying?

That does sound exhausting.

If they're assuming they're lying, and then the good thing doesn't happen proving they've lied, then that might be exhausting, but they'd also be correct lol. You're allowed to be angry at things that suck about the world.
I think "AI safety" deserves an eye-roll. AI doesn't allow people to break the laws of physics or travel in time. Safety as presented by Anthropic and OpenAI, is just AI companies playing favorites with which industry gets to use some powerful software tools.

You're defending a company that makes "safe" usage part of their brand and every press release mentions how much they care about safety. Then one day, they announce they are making some compromises to their safety policy so they can get large new customers (government) but don't worry all they care about is safety. It's comical how predictable this was.
