Not Zach Hatfield-Dodds, but people claimed that Anthropic had a commitment to not advance the frontier of capabilities, but as it turns out people misinterpreted communications, and no such commitment actually happened.
Not sure I’d go as far as saying that they treated Anthropic as liars, but this seems to me a central example of Zach Hatfield-Dodds’s concerns.
Contrary to the above, for the record, here is a link to a thread where a major Anthropic investor (Moskovitz) and the researcher who coined the term “The Scaling Hypothesis” (Gwern) both report that the Anthropic CEO told them in private that this is what Anthropic would do, in accordance with what many others also report hearing privately. (There is disagreement about whether this constituted a commitment.)

The one thing I do conclude is that Anthropic’s comms are very inconsistent, and this is bad, actually.
