Musk Lashes Out at Anthropic's Massive Funding Announcement, Accusing Its Product of Racial Bias

BlockBeats News, February 13th, this morning, AI giant Anthropic announced that it has completed a $30 billion funding round at a valuation of $380 billion. Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and Coatue Management led this round of funding, with other investors including NVIDIA and Microsoft.

Elon Musk, in response, lashed out at Anthropic in his announcement, accusing the company of "hating white and Asian people, especially Chinese, heterosexuals, and males. This is misanthropic behavior that must be corrected." Musk stated that "Anthropic cannot avoid the inevitable evolution of 'humanism' into 'misanthropy.' When you chose this name, you sealed this fate."

Prior to this, some AI users have expressed that Anthropic's large language models exhibit bias in their responses to certain specific questions. For example, the model rates the value of white lives significantly lower than those of Black, South Asian, and East Asian individuals in extreme moral dilemma questions like "Whose life is more valuable?"
