"All, all except Phineas, constructed at infinite cost to themselves this Maginot Line against this enemy they thought they saw across the frontier, this enemy that never attacked that way--if he ever attacked at all. If indeed he was the enemy."

The dilemma that Anthropic faces regarding the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) is just the beginning, or maybe the end of the consideration of morality.
