You got a serious case of Anthropic Derangement Syndrome
If you use a MacBook for work, Apple should get a 30% cut of your salary!

Anything else is stealing from Apple’s generous charity of selling you a laptop for $3000.

Apple makes it against the rules to tell users about the 30% tax.
Apple probably hates that they can’t charge 30% tax on all transactions done on Safari.

It is a travesty that free-loading scumbag users can buy stuff on the web without Apple getting a cut.

Yes. That's the whole point. They are doing research. Anthropic literally starts their description of the blackmail test observations saying that it is a test scenario using a fictional company.

It's a rumor being spread by OpenAI employees.

This seems to be a rumor being coordinated by OpenAI.

There's OpenAI employees spreading this rumor on Twitter with 0 evidence. Their entire evidence is "I keep hearing Anthropic wants to control AI". Their evidence is literal rumors.
