“Look enough of my RSUs have vested that I can now make this brave public stance, knowing I’ve secured a generational bag should this all hit”

Their assault on everything. It’s the story of the century and they’ve decided not to cover it.

God that’s so true. And I’m sick of libertarians thinking they’re any better than republicans.

I never thought I'd live in a country with a straight-up fascist governing administration controlled by oligarchs, but that was clearly a failure of imagination on my part.

It's not a competition, unfortunately. The AI problems aren't just about them going sentient, although that's a concern. The two larger problems with AI today are goal alignment in task performance (see Hugging Face) and misuse of their capability for nefarious ends (today's news about Claude).

In that same vein denial of climate change is right up there as an equally fraught risk to our existence, but I guess warnings from hundreds of research scientists over literally decades in academia doesn’t have the street cred of one former Anthropic employee?

Spot on! This "engineer" emerges out of the wordwork, makes a wild and sketchy claim, which is the media instantaneously treats as though emanating from the mouth of a visionary, genious, savior of mankind. I smell a fish.

These guys are living within their own video games. The AGI appocalypse is scary but cool and you get to shoot down terminator drones. Climate change and the destruction of democracy and social inequality is for nerdy chuds and pink haired weirdos.

he was there all of four months too now he's famous for basically saying what everybody knew (these companies have no ethical standards)

And boy is humanity ready for the challenge !🙃
