And there goes every single rational for having a security team at the disaster bunkers the billionaires are building

At first I read the title as a possible missile strike on Anthropic's office by a hostile actor.

The idea of Anthropic allowing a contractor to squeeze such a tiny cost center at such a massive PR cost right before their IPO is just an objective blunder, IMHO. They should've replied to that email with a quick "No, you will be negotiating with the union tomorrow morning. You maybe eventually saving millions right now could cost us literally billions."

It is not as if they can't write encouraging prompts to mythos from everywhere.

Lol at "On secondary markets, investors have propelled the company to a $1.5 billion valuation."

Wow, this is bad news. Without in-office collaboration, company culture will collapse. The organic moments of spontaneous synergy won't take place. Perhaps OpenAI or even xAI will take over as leading company. Grim.

Everyone should boycott Anthropic and stop using Claude. I'm starting with myself.

They should just give engineers PDWs and call it a day.

Claude, I need a strategy for defeating unions trying to up their rates, please research union defeating settlements done in the past 50 years and build a case against them to keep our rates at the lowest possible.

Bold moves and take from a company that values itself at $30T, maybe they should let claude do the security

Oh no, they are going to learn that remote work is just as productive as in person work!

They are going to work from home? now we will see AGI in next months!

Pretty crazy. The security team denies there ever was a threat of a strike? And generally you do announce strike threats, it's kind of the whole point with strikes that your employer knows of the possibility. Did Anthropic get "warned" about this strike by its own AI models?

"The union representing those workers said that was news to them." Smells like IRL hallucination...
