Anthropic因坚持伦理原则获得梵蒂冈教廷的正式感谢与合作。教皇的认可实质上为全球14亿天主教徒指明了在道德层面唯一“正确”的大语言模型选择。此前,Anthropic曾因拒绝为美国国防部提供Claude用于自主武器而失去合同,被OpenAI和Google取代。此次与天主教会的合作,被视作该公司道德立场带来的决定性胜利,其产生的声誉和潜在用户价值难以估量,形成了对竞争对手的显著优势。
This is the biggest PR coup Anthropic could ever have imagined. And I mean that seriously.
Let me explain.
Aside from the fact that Anthropic is very good at presenting itself as a corporation, the recent hiring of Andrej Karpathy marked a new high point. Anthropic is showing the world that it not only employs the best researchers, but also, and especially, those who are popular within the community.
However, Anthropic also thrives on its self-imposed moral standards, some of which literally come at a price that Anthropic has repeatedly paid. As is well known, Anthropic recently had serious problems with the Department of War regarding the use of Claude for autonomous weapons. Anthropic refused, and OpenAI and Google were awarded the contract; Anthropic was designated a supply chain risk.
