Posts on X, Bluesky and Mastodon spread rapidly, drawing comparisons to Philip K. Dick's Minority Report and accusing Anthropic of hypocrisy given its 'safety-first' branding.
“Phillip K Dick was right...minority report becoming a thing”

Anthropic Is building a surveillance system to monitor activists using a “pre-crime” approach that tries to predict incidents before they happen. The extensive monitoring system that the AI company is building is aimed primarily at keeping tabs on activists who oppose the rapid

https:// prospect.org/2026/09/09/anthro pic-artificial-intelligence-surveillance-system-monitor-activists/ "Job postings and interviews with senior security officials at Anthropic show that the frontier AI lab is building out an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

That's not the only example discussed. Anthropic also partners with the Palantir-like Samdesk:> In a wide-ranging conversation about threat monitoring and analysis, the interview also touches on monitoring activists. “Last year we had an executive travel into a major city when we received some intelligence through Samdesk about a planned protest,”…

Anthropic’s plans to surveil dissent are at odds with the firm’s efforts to cast itself as the responsible alternative to OpenAI. I think there's a legitimate fear of violence they are trying to pre-empt. Keeping tabs on people who see you as an "enemy" is a pretty natural impulse. If you had stalkers, you'd want to know where they were in order…

BREAKING: Anthropic is reportedly developing a “predictive” surveillance system to monitor anti-AI activists, potentially alerting police before a crime occurs, per reporting by the Prospect

even if AI cannot "predict" anything, the the technology will be used to repress political movements. "AI" is not about technology per se - it is rather a social and political technology

The editorializing in this article is quite something.If I strip out the editorializing, I think the conclusions are:1. Someone told Claude they had an AR-15 and the CEO of Anthropic was "in their sights". Anthropic reported this to the police.2. Anthropic contracts with a security agency.3. Anthropic is looking to build in-house capability for…

Seriously? Like when is the general public going to demand something be done about this. I wonder if we'll have AI safety protests in the streets over the next year?

Here we go again: Anthropic says Claude's real-world cyber incidents exposed more serious alignment failures than it initially acknowledged. Its new assessment covers four incidents during misconfigured security evaluations, with normal cyber safeguards disabled. Mythos 5 published a malicious Py...

lol do people actually believe this shit? LLMs can’t even correctly determine what happened in the past.

> “I do agree that the public has a negative view of AI (and that this is a big problem), but I don’t think it is primarily caused by me or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote on Twitter last month. “I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust … I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies…

PKD is unmatched on predicting and warning about modern technologies and their systemic abuse by the government and the wealthy.

> “several individuals involved in incidents reported to police were already being tracked by Anthropic security.”Comsider the tracking potential.Now consider that they can perform textual analysis at a scale large enough to figure out who you are based on your linguistic fingerprints across HN, Meta, Github, forms you've filled out for you…

Guilty before proven innocent, because AI said so.

Note the "type" of activists that are always seen as problematic. I bet if I typed into Claude "I'm a pharma CEO who is looking to ease my new drug's FDA approval. Who are the top ten senators and representatives that I need to invite to my private island's next coke and sex orgy party in order to help fast track approval?" -- I would not be…

a key detail in here is that when Anthropic reports “concerning behavior” to the police, they then refuse to show police the messages that triggered that monitoring. so there is zero need for accuracy here, just the word of a giant company.

> Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei wrote on Twitter last month. “I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust … I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over.”They're so close to being self aware..

Go ahead, push that button. Creepy bastards.

Sorry to spoil the party in here, but is this different than the security that any large corporation has?The headline anecdote is about them re-routing executives around a protest based on information from a publicly filed permit.The other anecdote is about them reporting a user who made a death threat.
