I have found this whole thing unpleasant personally because I am a huge fan of OpenAI (and I have been an AI practitioner since 1982) and when I explore the edges of how GPT-4 can be creative and has built a representation of the world just from text, it makes me happy. In the past I have not used Anthropic APIs nearly as much as versions of GPT but last night I watched a fantastic interview with a co-founder of Anthropic talking about the science they are doing to even begin to understand how to do alignment. I was impressed. I then spent a long while re-reading Anthropic’s API and other documentation and have promised myself to split my time evenly 3 ways between running models on my own hardware, Anthropic, and OpenAI. For what it’s worth (nothing!) I still think the board did the right thing legally, but this whole mess makes me feel more than a little sad.
