Big if true. Any alleged "step change" over 4.6 is worth paying attention to. Also, Hegseth did a big fucky wucky if true - since they went scorched earth with Anthropic, this could mean denying the US frontier model capabilities.

Unfortunately the Pentagon can and will appeal, and the 9th Circuit and higher courts are excessively deferential on "matters of national security."

They don't speak their minds because they know their opinions are so beyond the pale that they wouldn't be accepted in civil society.

Anthropic is probably the only AI company that is trying to stop absolutely hemorrhaging money and reach profitability and financial sustainability. They aren't far off - they burn a tiny fraction of the cash of OAI and achieve similar

The same detractors I know today that use AI, said that LLMs were useless slop generators that would never amount to anything just a year or two ago. Detractors, doomers, and techno-pessimists have got to be the most consistently wrong grou

More workers died working the fields prior to the Industrial Revolution, than in factories.

Because there is always work to do. It is true that demand will drop for those that don't take initiative and aren't sure what to do now that AI can do their repetitive tasks. However, demand will surge for those that can think cr

What are you talking about? AGI is practically a prerequisite for transhumanism, and, well, not dying. If you want to "keep existing" AGI happening is probably your only hope.

By that logic we should all live in air-filtered bubbles. Anyone denying this is causing harm . After all, people might die if you let them out of their air-filtered bubble! The "harm" (if you can call it that) is clear, detracto

People used to laugh about quant strategies the same day, I wouldn't count it out so quickly. One of my friends is already turning meaningful profits with agent driven trading (though he has some experience in trading to begin with.)

Of course shit gets done. Who thinks AI is just summaries? That's so 2024. Agents are a thing.

Sure but most people just want to get shit done. If you don't want it you can always take the long meandering path, no one is stopping that.

You're right, Anthropic shouldn't have even taken a moral stance here at all. They should have just gone full send and allowed everything, because there will never be satisfying some people. Why even try?

Blocking this is the responsibility of a parent. Spend some time to configure parental controls etc. Pushing to turn society into a police state because parents are too tired/lazy/tech-illiterate is simply not the solution
