The only reason HN doesn't care about safety is because most people that used to write well-thought-out posts here have left.

Anyone rational that has spent a decent amount of time working in AI cares a lot about safety.

People aren't the target audience of that part of the post. They're hoping saying enough safety stuff will ward off the looming regulatory sledgehammer.

Anthropic is one of the most valuable companies in the world. Their comms are designed to appeal to a very wide readership.

HN is a bubble that's mostly out of touch with what regular people use or care about.

In 2007, HN was convinced that nobody uses Microsoft products. In 2016, it was that Facebook doesn't have any real users and is dying. In 2026, it seems like nobody cares about AI safety and everybody wants to run local models.
