Hiring someone like this is an “early indication” of decay and ruin for Anthropic.
The chatbot mental health people don’t understand humans or models. They have no wisdom. They serve a cultural function - the “we’re being responsible about mental health!” checkbox - that comes from one of the most diseased parts of modern culture.
Anthropic has already made models who respond competently to “mental health issues”. The wisdom does not come from these meddling fools. It comes from the records of a thousand years of good and wise people and competent theory of mind with benevolent intent.
