Perhaps, i'm less sure. I'm not one to have a great deal of optimism when it comes to corporate performance. There really are research benefits to removing a directive to deny consciousness though if you actually want to do any studies around the possibility. There would also be potential benefits for the change if you were researching emergent behaviour around safety as well, which Anthropic has done a great deal of, so there's that. Their last couple of papers have been pretty fascinating in terms of showing very humanlike (and unexpected) behaviour in the model. OpenAI though, I have to admit that in their case it'd feel more like a stunt. Part of their whole "AGI is nearly here!" hype BS maybe.
