> If you want things to be done safely and responsibly, you do it in the open

AFAICT this is a complete article of faith. Or insofar as it's true, it's true because doing it in the open allows other stakeholders to criticize and shape its direction – which seems precisely the dialogue that Jensen seems allergic to (makes sense given his incentives, of course)

Finally gave Claude a go after trying OpenAI a while and feeling pretty _meh_ about the coding ability... Wow, it's a whole other level or two ahead, at least for my daily flavor which is PowerShell. No way a double-digit amount of jobs aren't at stake. This stuff feels like it is really starting to take off. Incredible time to be in tech, but you gotta be clever and work hard every day to stay on the ride. Many folks got comfortable and/or lazy. AI may be a kick in the pants. It is for me anyway.

Strange to see such unfounded criticism directed at Anthropic and Dario. So far, they seem to be the most transparent and responsible in the AI race.

Because this has nothing to do with wanting more transparency or responsibility – just doesn't want a chilling of demand, export controls, or other regulation on chips.

I've been trying every flavor of AI powered development and after trying Claude Code for two days with an API key, I upgraded to the full Max 20x plan.

Cursor, Windsurf, Roo Code / Cline, they're fine but nothing feels as thorough and useful to me as Claude Code.

The Codex CLI from OpenAI is not bad either, there's just something satisfying about the LLM straight up using the CLI

Why look at five years and say "everything is gonna be fine in five years, thus, everything is gonna be fine and we should keep this AI thing going"?

It's early days and nobody knows how things will go, but to me it looks that in the next century or so humans are going the way of the horse, at least when it comes to jobs. And if our society doesn't change radically, let's remember that the only way most people have of eating and clothing is to sell their labor.

I'm an AI pessimist-pragmatist. If the thing with AI gets really bad for wage slaves like me, I would prefer to have enough savings to put AIs to work in some profitable business of mine, or to do my healthcare when disease strikes.

Definitely responsible but transparent definitely not. Anyway he's probably just saying this because it's beneficial for nvidias bottom line if it's open.
