There was an interview I saw recently with Asmodei where he said that Anthropic aren't categorically against autonomous weapons, only that they didn't think they were ready, seemingly implying they would make mistakes similar to how LLMs hallucinate. A lot of the media coverage around them seemed to imply that they had a higher ethical standard than the others, and I mean... maybe? I guess it could be argued that wanting to minimize collateral damage is more ethical, but regardless, I think it's important to keep perspective when we see how they act in the coming weeks and months.
