You can't trust any of the big AI labs as far as you can throw them, and most definitely not Anthropic. They may have a good model, but they've shown time and time again that they're not trustworthy. The CEO has recently started taking a stance against local AI. That must tell you something: local AI is the future. If you want to preserve privacy and be ready for the rug pull, you need to run things locally. Unfortunately, that means that you're going to need Google or the Chinese labs to constantly release open models.
If anything, I'll trust Google more than any of the other labs just because the infrastructure that stores and protects user data was built over decades ago pre-AI craze.

- khalic 3mo agoChina's government is known for interfering with businesses waaaaay more than the current US, it's a big risk to rely on them too. Edit: downvoting this fact without counter point is really dishonest

- mft_ 3mo ago> …they're not trustworthy. The CEO has recently started taking a stance against local AI. That must tell you something: local AI is the future. Or… just that open-weights AI is getting good enough to present a reasonable level of threat to their business. So it popped up on a SWOT analysis and they’ve started putting a strategy together. This doesn’t need to be anything more nefarious or untrustworthy than a company putting plans in place to deal with a competitive threat.
- soraminazuki 3mo agoThat they have a process for doing evil things doesn't make it less nefarious.
- mft_ 3mo agoIf we define evil as a company having a strategy to deal with a competitive threat, then many/most companies in the world are evil.
- soraminazuki 3mo agoOnly corporate apologists would come up with a definition of evil so useless for anything other than making strawman arguments. The criteria the rest of us use is based on harm.
- mft_ 3mo agoHaving read what you wrote several times, I'm not sure whether you're agreeing or disagreeing with me. FWIW I agree with you 100% - we should judge "evil" on clear intent, impact, actions, etc.
- titanomachy 3mo agoJust like Nestlé had strategies to deal with the "competitive threat" of women breastfeeding their children instead of buying formula products. How could it be evil if it's just a corporation moving to neutralize a threat? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_of_Nestl%C3%A9#Baby_formula_marketing_(1970s-present) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_of_Nestl%C3%A9#B...
