What's the irony of that? Hyperradical Islamists wish that radical Islamists were more radical, too. And yes, the administration is hobbled (by design) by our institutions. But, as fascists do, they're doing their best to degrade

Imagine thinking a person's political philosophy could be determined or disproven by a singular datapoint lmao Everyone who has touched currency is a capitalist, everyone who has paid taxes is a commie, everyone who has regulated a tec

Clearly they've assessed that the models they released are safe enough to release. Without a clear regulatory framework and Constitutional basis to overrule them, that is Anthropic's decision to make, and not the US government&#

by estearum 5mo ago
Ah yes, the US government forcing private companies to stop selling their products is totally a sign of Anthropic's drama and not our paranoiac fascist regime.

Then surely you can articulate how specifically – in a way that doesn't require large numbers of people acting against their own incentives – that AI doom is possible but not guaranteed. I actually already know how you'd perceiv

by estearum 5mo ago
Yes, totally. But those people's preferences don't matter. What matters is the core competitive dynamic.

If you believe in the AI doom scenario then yes, you do need to do that. Because it's very important that your "less ethical" and "less good" competitors do not get to the machine god first. If you don't beli

In most ways it doesn't matter, but if you're accusing someone of lying and then your evidence of that is something that someone else said, then that's lazy (at best). I'm not sure there's anything "to get.&quo

Lol, I can name 3 specific jobs within my own company (of <10 people) that AI prevents me from having to hire for. They've been automated away. My company itself (possible only with AI) does the work of at least several dozen people

"Arms race" is the term used colloquially to describe the dynamic that emerges in "winner-take-all" markets. It seems that the frontier labs believe they're participants in a winner-take-all market. Therefore they&#

by estearum 5mo ago
You think "arms race" is a dynamic that only applies to literal arms? "Ability to literally destroy the other entity" is not a necessary or even typical feature of arms races.

Do you believe the current situation is more akin to the race to the first nukes , where no one could know for sure the other competitors were even racing... or is it more similar to the Cold War, where there were obviously competitors eng

Let's assume that Anthropic believes they're in an arms race to create a potentially dangerous technology, and they believe they're the best ones to win this race. Unlike nuclear weapons, advancing in this arms race requires

Basically all critiques of Anthropic's policy moves on these topics boil down to people not believing the fundamental concerns are real, and often then going a step further to conclude that Anthropic doesn't actually believe the

It literally does not register as "unethical" at any scale to have different products or prices for different customer tiers. The question of collaboration with USG is a much more complex one, but is not the one raised above. Edit

Where is your evidence that this is Anthropic backtracking on its ethical and contractual commitments rather than DOD backtracking on its blatantly illegal coercion (which it's almost certainly going to be successfully sued for)? Talk

You really misunderstand what AI-doom people are worried about if you think this is anywhere near the top (or middle, or bottom) of the list of concerns.

It has nothing to do with awareness. Your point is that there are cities that are full of motorcycles. My point is: sure, but most of those in most cities are not the 1000cc+ motorcycles Americans are typically referring to, and even if t

Curious how old you are? There was definitely a sweet spot if you were in highschool or college in like 2004 - 2010 (so born something like 1986 - 1994?) where online social media was almost painstakingly manicured to mirror real-life socia
