“So why are you working at Anthropic then?!”

And they didnt have an easy, conditioned rebuttle/response? Researchers at Anthropic, who are open about having AI ethics discussions at a party, haven't formulated a quick thought on this subject?

I'd say one of the main things that would be missing in this (for me) is prioritization and goal orientation. I often feel energy and motivation to get things done and have plenty of time to do so, but actually channeling that energy into the important tasks that *should* be prioritized is my prime productivity destroyer.
