A priest, a rabbi, and my dad

Boys Club newsletter piece (October 2, 2026) on the AI safety debate around Anthropic's closed-door meetings with religious leaders, who signed NDAs and discussed whether Claude might be conscious and received copies of Claude's constitution; covers the criticism that Anthropic quieted the leaders with NDAs and lobbied the Vatican, and the counter-view from religious thinkers. Written by Natasha Hoskins, whose father attended the sessions.
