It wouldn't surprise me if Anthropic were having a big "war" internally right now. Maybe not a war, but a big figuring out of what next given recent observations. And we won't hear much from them until that's done.
Good point, but also, I don't expect them to deign to tell the public about the internal conflict even when it's done. They have shown an abject disregard for the public sense-making about them and their behavior, with extreme silencing of staff and failure to answer questions about their trustworthiness, with the CEO occasionally publishing poorly argued propaganda on his blog.
