Hide the Pain Harold: Anthropic Wants AI Paused - Externally
Description
A two-panel Hide the Pain Harold meme captioned "ANTHROPIC:" at the top. Top panel: Harold, the grey-bearded stock-photo man with his trademark pained smile, sits at a laptop holding a white mug, with the text "LETS PAUSE AI DEVELOPMENT". Bottom panel: same scene, Harold's grimace-smile even more strained, with the punchline "EXTERNALLY". The meme skewers the perceived hypocrisy of AI safety messaging from frontier labs: publicly advocating slowdowns, pauses, and regulation of AI development while internally racing to ship ever more capable frontier models - 'safety for thee, scaling for me.'
