Huh, this seems messy. I wish Time was less ambigious with their language here and more clear about exactly what they have/haven’t seen.
It seems like the current quote you used is an accurate representation of the article, but I worry that it isn’t an accurate representation of what is actually going on.
It seems plausible to me that Time is intentionally being ambigious in order to make the article juicier, though maybe this is just my paranoia about misleading journalism talking. (In particular, it seems like a juicier article if all of the big AI companies are doing this than if they aren’t, so it is natural to imply they are all doing it even if you know this is false.)
Overall, my take is that this is a pretty representative quote (and thus I disagree with Zac), but I think the additional context maybe indicates that not all of these companies are doing this, particularly if the article is intentionally trying to deceive.
Due to prior views, I’d bet against Anthropic consistently pushing for very permissive of voluntary regulation behind closed doors which makes me think the article is probably at least somewhat misleading (perhaps intentionally).
