Isn’t that the opposite of what he’s saying? He’s saying it could become that powerful, and given that possibility it’s incredibly important that we do whatever we can to gain more control of that scenario

I think the poster here has an axe to grind, considering they quoted something that directly contradicted their point and didn't even notice.

The quote was from 2022 for the first pivot to AI to prevent it from becoming a terminator style entity. The last pivot was not in the quote but is the topic of this current Hacker News post, where takes credit for dropping the safety pledge:
"That decision included scrapping the promise to not release AI models if Anthropic can’t guarantee proper risk mitigations in advance."
I expect the next pivot will be that we need to allow the US military to use Anthropic to kill people because otherwise they will use a less pure AI to kill people and our Anthropic is better at only killing the bad guys, thus it is the lesser evil.
