My (maybe wildly off) understanding from several such conversations is that people tend to say:
We think that everyone is racing super hard already, so the marginal effect of pushing harder isn’t that high
Having great models is important to allow Anthropic to push on good policy and do great safety work
We have an RSP and take it seriously, so think we’re unlikely to directly do harm by making dangerous AI ourselves
China tends not to explicitly come up, though I’m not confident it’s not a factor.
(to be clear, the above is my rough understanding from a range of conversations, but I expect there’s a diversity of opinions and I may have misunderstood)
