Claude may also have a hand in building its own successor. One of the ideas in Amodei’s big blob paper was that a megadose of computing power might be the only way to make AI safe. “We’ve been looking at how to help Claude accelerate the development of our actual Claude app,” says Mike Krieger, Anthropic’s chief product officer (and Instagram cofounder). It’s not a stretch to see Anthropic’s deep embrace of Claude as a test run for humanity’s future relationship with AI. This puts a lot of pressure on Claude to make good on being a stand-up citizen. Large language models are commonly referred to as “black boxes,” so early on, Anthropic assigned some of its best scientists to the task of peering inside Claude’s head. Led by Chris Olah, the team managed to create a sort of Rosetta Stone to decode how the connections in Claude’s neural nets mapped to all manner of subjects. Then they tested how they could manipulate Claude’s thinking. Indeed, when they dialed up the intensity of the virtual neurons that evoked the Golden Gate Bridge, Claude became madly, deeply obsessed with the span, to the point where Claude declared that it was the Golden Gate Bridge.

We need to break the propaganda of “all young white men who use computers must be geniuses” before it literally destroys the United States of America.
