"We hope our leaders will..." I realize things are moving quickly, and the stakes are high here, but thinking about what happens if the hopes are not met might be a next step.
- voganmother42 8mo agoTech leaders are a joke
- goku12 8mo agoMore like a nightmare. This isn't happening by accident. They aren't being opportunistic either. They're playing a game that they planned at least two decades ago. If the books they wrote and published openly aren't evidence enough, you can look at the Epstein files. Look past all the obvious horrific crimes in it, and you'll the see signs of their numerous interventions in society through large scale social engineering, that got us to the dystopia we're in now.
- medi8r 8mo agoNeeds a union. With strikes and all that jazz.
- renewiltord 8mo ago[flagged]
- medi8r 8mo agoYeah it would need to be a union run by it's members. Maybe with a constitution. (Please edit comment to remove names incase they want to remove from OP)
- renewiltord 8mo agoThe other unions are also run by their members. And they had a constitution. It's just the truth that most people who join a union are trying to kick out minorities. And when the minorities band together and the majority bands together one of these bands is bigger than the other. And people like to flag kill the truth but it was a union who got the Koreans deported and it was a union that made it so the Chinese couldn't get citizenship. These are facts and the guys who would be their victims haven't forgotten it. Obviously the majority would like to hide this inconvenient truth using the tool this site offers to do that, but it doesn't change the truth, and these people know it.
- _bohm 8mo agoI don't know why you're being downvoted. This letter is completely toothless, and what you're suggesting is literally the only thing that these people could do that would make a difference.
- globular-toast 8mo agoA lot of them have been brainwashed into believing unions are bad.
- ngcazz 8mo agoHanging out in the streets on a Saturday is America's conception of a protest, you think people with this sort of consciousness understand unionizing?
- propagandist 8mo agoYeah, it's a nice gesture, but having watched Google handle the protests in recent years and their culture inching a step closer to Amazon, I do not foresee their leadership being swayed by employee resistance. They'll either quietly sign an agreement and discreetly implement it, or they will go scorched earth on their employees again.
- moogly 8mo agoIf they're truly principled, and these are true red lines, given no other recourse, I would be impressed if Anthropic decided to shut down the company. Won't happen, but I would be smashing that F key if they did. The other two definitely never would in a million years.
- plumthreads 8mo agoAnthropic have a pretty progressive corporate governance structure, so there is a good argument that they will stay true to their principles. However, this will likely be the biggest test for how strong that governance structure is up to now.
- goku12 8mo agoThere is one tiny problem in your assessment. That statement was written by the employees of Google and OpenAI, in solidarity with their counterparts at Anthropic. It doesn't really matter what Anthropic does. We're doomed! (cue the dramatic music!)
- anigbrowl 8mo agoIf I had decision input at Anthropic I'd be giving serious consideration to reincorporating in the EU or Japan, and also doubling or tripling my personal legal and security budget.
- paganel 8mo agoThey’ll go after their bank accounts and their financing, in effect killing them outright, no matter from where they’d be headquartered (other than China or Russia, that is). Also, EU and Japan would not risk their nuclear umbrella protection in order to defend the interest of an US company that is fighting the US Government, not in a million years.
- lloeki 8mo agoIs that so? https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/macron-outline-france-nuclear-deterrence-151739552.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/macron-outline-france-nu... https://www.defense.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/ministere-armees/BACKGROUND%20DOSSIER_NUCLEAR%20DETERRENCE.pdf https://www.defense.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/ministere-ar...
- elAhmo 8mo agoSo much for the hope with leaders such as Sam and Dario
- gnarlouse 8mo agoMankind is doing what it does best at scale: sprinting mindlessly into problematic scenarios because the species is fragmented and has arbitrarily established concepts of groups defined by region, race, ideology, etc. As a species, this is just natural selection.
- keybored 8mo agoSure. It’s just that sprinting is dictated by money. Money rules region, race, ideology, etc.
