AIs do not have souls.
If we’re going to be pedantic: neither has anything else.
Comment on Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon

Anthropic has described itself as the AI company with a “soul.”
This is silicon valley stupidity at its finest.
AIs do not have souls. But guess what: The "soul" file is what runs trash like OpenClaw.
And companies definitely don’t have souls.
Anthropic said shortcomings in its two-year-old Responsible Scaling Policy could hinder its ability to compete in a rapidly growing AI market… it had hoped its original safety principles “would encourage other AI companies to introduce similar policies.
Rules for thee and never for me. (BTW, these rules sucked, and mostly didn’t address actual dangers.)

We weren’t, but since you bring it up, if the CEOs of AI companies did have souls, they would be going to the worst hell imaginable.

In that fictional situation, I agree.

This is exactly why self regulation is bullshit. Even if one company decides to do the right thing (and that’s kinda arguable hear as you pointed out), plenty of other companies won’t handcuff their ability to profit, no matter the ethical implications.
