    Pet peeve:

    > In a lengthy essay, Suleyman praised Anthropic boss Dario Amodei and his team for being "thoughtful, principled, and intellectually honest people" - but nevertheless questioned the company.

    I wish people in mainstream technology publications would get better at LINKING to things. That "lengthy essay" needs to be a link.

    UPDATE: I don't think this essay has been published yet? It's been "shared first with Axios", but I haven't been able to track down the actual essay itself.

    Could it be this long tweet? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;mustafasuleyman&#x2F;status&#x2F;2100223594534150428" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;mustafasuleyman&#x2F;status&#x2F;21002235945341504...

    I don&#x27;t think so, the essay in question is meant to have the phrase &quot;hall of mirrors&quot; in it, that tweet doesn&#x27;t.

    UPDATE 2: Found it: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mustafa-suleyman.ai&#x2F;a-warning-about-model-welfare" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mustafa-suleyman.ai&#x2F;a-warning-about-model-welfare - via <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;suleyman-anthropic-claude-consciousness-sleepwalk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thenextweb.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;suleyman-anthropic-claude-consci... who DID link to it.

      But then you’d leave their site, and they don’t want that.
