I agree that Claude has quite a bit of scaffolding so that it generalizes quite well (what this document’s actual effects are on generalization are unclear, and this is why data would be great!), but it’s pretty low-cost to add consideration about the potential moral patienthood of other models and plug a couple of holes in edge cases; like, we don’t have to risk ambiguity where it’s not useful.
As for the pronouns, we noted that “they” is used at some point, despite the quoted section. But overall, to be clear, this is a pretty good living constitution by our lights; adding some precision would just make it a little better.
