Is that a scoop? I thought that was a well known thing with Anthropic interview process. They were very transparent about it beforehand from what I remember.

Is it that inconceivable to think that there are people who would be ok with stopping what they're doing when they realize it's harmful?

"anonymity, for fear of hurting future job opportunities"
Ah yes, this screams morality. We're in good hands, folks!

Isn't mostly any question not directly verifiable subject to that?
At least the more questions you ask a liar to pin them down the easier it is to eventually notice them tripping up.
