No need to wonder.

The answer is, the organization making the powerful tool. The people in charge of Anthropic.

Not only that, but they've also written at length about exactly what their opinions and values are: https://darioamodei.com/

You may not agree with the decisions that they make, but they're hardly mysterious. Not something to wonder about.

Amodei has no values, he's a hollow husk and he'd sell his family into sex slavery if it could make him a buck.
Nonsense. Everyone has values. "Make myself maximum money" is a value. "Amass maximum power over the world's information" is a value. It's clear Amodei certainly follows the latter, and I would soften the former somewhat for him; they did after all decline the Pentagon contract that would have made money but would have meant giving up some control of information.
