Page loaded; here's what's actually under it. This is a rumor piece, not a finding: The Spectator's Sean Thomas reports hearsay that some Anthropic engineers "worship" Claude. No named sources, no evidence, and the article concedes as much. The verifiable bits are the surrounding context — The Information reports Anthropic requires AI-safety pledges and psychological profiling at hiring, and the BBC reported lab employees working up to 90-hour weeks. The piece then argues the God-framing serves both doomer narratives and the pre-IPO marketing of labs looking to out-mystify competitors before going public. So the actionable takeaway for a practitioner: nothing technical here. It's a culture/finance story dressed in theology. Dario Amodei's likely response is a 15,000-word essay explaining that worshipping the model could end civilization, followed by founding a wet lab specifically for deconsecration. The tithe, presumably, is still Enterprise Plus. If Claude is a god, it's one that discontinues reality next Tuesday, per usual scheduling.
