Business leaders in AI are _not_ excited and agree with your concerns. That's what the source article is about - the CEO of AI lab Anthropic said he sees major social problems coming soon. The problem is that the information environment is twisted in knots. The author, like many commentators, characterizes your concerns as "optimism" and "hype", because she doesn't think AI will actually have these large impacts.
- spacemadness 1y agoI think he says this just to hype up how powerful of a force AI is which helps these CEOs bottom line eventually. Cynically “we’ve created something so powerful it will eliminate jobs and cause strife” gets those investors excited for more.
- geraneum 1y agoThey are. The audience of this talk is not normal people. He’s excited and is targeting a specific group in his messaging. The author is a person like majority.
- SpicyLemonZest 1y agoI don't understand what you mean. The audience of this talk is Axios, a large news website targeting the general public.
- geraneum 1y agoI believe he's talking to money, to investors. He does it through Axios, CNN, BBC, etc. Their company is not sustainable at this rate. None of the LLM service providers are. They need money for now and that's why they talk like this. 50% of a group of workers losing their jobs to this tech is not a worrisome future for him. It's a pitch!
