How can you say this as if supporting Dario is any better. At the top level of anything there is almost no such thing as a non-asshole. None of them care genuinely about you they just want your money.

      Well not sure I can take any of them seriously if they think they are building AGI with LLM's. There is literally no thinking involved in an Large language model.

      That tracks. Man i dont want to accuse anyone of anything, but this whole thread seems astroturfed. Is this a new marketing strategy openAI is trying out?

The world saw Anthropic take a possibly company-killing risk wrt weaponizing their AI, and are rewarding them for holding to their values, for now at least. It’s not like anyone owes Sam Altman their business just bc their product has become slightly, perhaps temporarily, better

  Anthropic literally already works with companies like Palantir and others weaponizing their AI. Those just aren't quite as well known by the general public. They have no values that align with humans prospering.
  - samrus 5mo ago
    Source on this? Does anthropic work with them or do they simply use the normal product offering anthropic provides? Because the thing with the DoD was specific RnD for DoD purposes. If someone just uses normal claude to make killer robots, i dont think thats on anthropic, that on the legal and regulatory system to step in and stop that

  Both companies don't mind weaponization. The difference is whether it should only be domestic. Both are ok with foreigners being bombed.

  > driving humanity forward against its will. I want this technology! You don't speak for all of us. I'm sick of techo-Luddism. I'm sick of complaints about water use in a world that has avocados, beef, and fabric dyes. I'm sick of complaints about power use when you have your air conditioners, winter heat, air travel, and gaming PCs. I'm sick of artists saying AI image and video sucks. I'm sick of pretend artists, armchair warriors, obsessed fans, and pickmes towing the same line. I'm sick of engineers saying these models aren't a huge performance gain. You haters and skeptics out there can keep doing you, but I'm going to keep using the technology. We'll see where the chips fall. I was raised on optimism and dreams of the future. I want that. I don't want to die with the same incrementalism we've always had. I want orders of magnitude more. This is our one moment of awareness in a cosmically infinite void. I want spectacular. I'm tired of the chicken attitudes when people should aspire to be eagles. What we have is so boring. There's so much more if we reach for it. Holodecks, models that cure every molecular cause of cancer, doubled and tripled health spans, instant ability to understand every language, fast and cheap travel autonomous p2p travel, everyone on earth lifted out of poverty, a Michelin chef in your kitchen, ...

Well anthropic refused to do shady shit with the DoD and openAI did. So theres that. Also altman wants a private global ID system that screams technofascism. This comment just sounds like baseless both side-ism. Anthropic arent saints but i dont see why they have to be. They are business' and one is less trustworthy than the other. Simple as

Hassabis seems decent. People have strange attitudes to tech leaders like they are all superhuman or evil or all aresholes. They are just normal people who got the top job, some good some bad, some mediocre.
