You may remember the breathless media coverage globally about an Anthropic employee recently after he tweeted AI will end humanity in a decade. Here are his prior tweets. Will these get mainstream coverage? futurism.com/artificial-i...

That guy is a fucking idiot of the highest order, and I have no idea why media organisations platformed him like that. He has absolutely no fucking idea what he is talking about. It’s similar with the Anthropic CEO going on about AI botnets crashing the internet. He has no idea what he is on about.

It says less about Anthropic that he left in a huff than that people like that consistently get hired there.

i think its important to remember people in the media are mostly ignorant of every substantive subject and are first and foremost producing an entertainment product

The tweet fitted the narrative the journalist wanted to portray - AI dangerous - AI end humanity - news at 11

The Daily Show interview is good and Jon Stewart asks him at the very end if he still has money in AI and he says yes. Just about the only personally who seriously asked him real questions. It's wild. Turns out his job was like...separating the data? So dumb for him to be platformed.

sounds like he's a victim of his own success.... one of the things he said "...I just wrote a tweet..." youtu.be/lnLDjXy2kRA?...

I am always shocked when developers have no idea how computers work. Ai isn't going to randomly upload itself when the requirements in hardware are astronomical
