Wankthropic: The Public Benefit Is Us
An independent satire of Anthropic and the AI industry, presented as a fictional company building the Clawed model.
Field notes
The homepage deliberately uses the information architecture of a frontier AI company: model release, investor news, public-policy language, hiring, and a conversational demo. Its fictional jobs include identifying how models might end the world and explaining regulation to governments, while the consultation asks whether the company should appoint itself to govern AI. The site states that its announcements and incidents are invented and that the interactive responses remain in the visitor’s browser.
