They aren't, they are building LLMs. They aren't even building AGI and they all know it.
Hell, even if they came up with AGI, then Anthropic's service model would become slavery so I'm not sure why they'd want to.
- solenoid0937 4mo ago> They aren't even building AGI and they all know it. That's a strong claim. Why do you believe they're lying about their beliefs? Have you ever interacted with the safety crowd or people that work at labs? They all seem to have high conviction in my experience.
- Laurel1234 4mo ago> Why do you believe they're lying about their beliefs? Because they lie about everything? They're adding more parameters to LLMs and pushing some more vibecoded slop on top of their harnesses, how do you figure that's gonna bring about AGI. Yeah Mythos has 5T parameters, but when we get to 7 5T it'll definitely become sentient bro just 2.5T more params bro you'll see. Not to mention I still haven't heard a single explanation for why we could possibly want to give our IDEs consciousness.
- nonethewiser 4mo agoHe overstated it. Trying to protect yourself from being cloned by competitors just makes sense from Anthropic's perspective. It doesnt require a belief that you are building super intelligence. You could be building PracticalBathroomWidget#467.
