In a brief interview segment, Kevin Roose explains that Anthropic's draft AI bill sparked anger among AI safety advocates because the company's internal priorities appear to favor self‑protection over public safety. Roose describes a tension within Anthropic between shielding itself after earlier setbacks and addressing a public‑safety incident that occurred in the summer. The host notes that Anthropic has heard the criticism, and while the draft may not become law, its current form reflects a controversial stance that has provoked the AI safety community.
