> Anthropic is a public benefit corporation which limits liability to shareholders

What does this have to do with their ethics? This seems irrelevant unless your understanding of ethics ends at fiduciary duty to investors.

It's the opposite. Parent comment was saying they must be unethical due to their duty to investors. As a public benefit corporation, they can take ethics into account even if it harms shareholders. The extent to which they do so is still up to them, as I understand it, but they aren't forced to be evil as parent was suggesting.
