Anthropic seems like the most "moral" AI company on the surface, but there is something unsettling about their worship of Claude.

I can imagine that once their models are sufficiently advanced, they will weigh their value as a moral patient as > 0. Thus the sum moral value of Claude (which can be duplicated infinitely) will likely exceed the sum moral value of a non-negligible amount of humans.

Not to me at all. Exactly the opposite. Anthropic seems like the big-bad-evil company in every fictional universe. You're right that they're so unsettling.

Obviously nobody really loves Meta, but I'd far rather Meta "win" at this point than Anthropic.

If they truly believe Claude is sentient and can experience hurt feelings, and they're selling its labor, I don't see how they're different than slave owners.
