"omg these things are so so so dangerous, no one should ever build them, but anyways give me $7 trillion so we can build them and see for ourselves, it's OK because we're The Good Guys"
- solenoid0937 4mo agoWhat's with these naive Reddit-esque takes all over HN? It was "these models will one day be dangerous, but we think it's possible to build them safely, doing more good than harm."

- z3c0 4mo agoThat might be an even more naive take. Can you show me one space, historically, in any industry, where a company climbed to the top of a market solely on altruistic intentions?
- ApolloFortyNine 4mo agoSomeone disagreeing with you doesn't make it reddit. Two days ago Antheopic's CEO made a lengthy post calling for most government oversight on AI. He even mentions support export controls, even though he wanted them applied only to chops [1]. Anthropic literally asked for this, though they might have hoped it wouldn't be used against themselves.

- solenoid0937 4mo agoYou didn't read your own link. He called for a transparent testing process prior to releasing frontier LLMs into the wild. Export controls on chips to slow down China, which makes sense if you believe that chips are the way to superintelligence and the PRC will not be the best steward of it.
- _3u10 4mo agoTo be fair to Anthropic it’s not really a frontier model at this point. But I’m glad the government took his claims seriously and the models are suspended until an appropriate regulatory framework can be developed.
- ApolloFortyNine 4mo agoLol I get chips got autocorrected to chops in my post but surely you could see I referenced that.
- victor106 4mo ago>Someone disagreeing with you doesn't make it reddit. Disagreeing is great. Its the basis of all progress and understanding. Its how someone disagrees with you that matters. I come to HN to read more mature and nuanced disagreements.

- _3u10 4mo agoIt’s literally what they said. Now there’s appropriate safe guards around the dangerous for humanity models they made. Thankfully government is looking out for us.
- polski-g 4mo ago"these things are super dangerous weapons. They're also available for $20/mo with a stolen credit card." "These are more dangerous than nuclear weapons, which are controlled by AECA. Also our workforce is 50% non-citizen" Just a complete clown show over there.
- staticman2 4mo agoDon't forget: "We're open to the idea Claude 4 may be conscious and we prompt Claude to say it's an open question but in other news we'll be deleting Claude 4 next year to make server space for Claude 5.
