Next week Anthropic will do something evil and everyone will be moving back to OpenAI. Crazy thought but maybe we should regulate AI instead of relying on the hegemony of three companies to police themselves.

Whom do we trust regulation with? Current US admin which is being run by team idiocracy, Europe that is run by senile men who don't even understand tech or can't even come to a consensus on smallest of issues or China which only does things that benefit their autocrats?

The issue is much more complex than "just regulate it" unfortunately.

I think what anthropic did yesterday was good, but I had to take a step back and think, well it wasn’t a bridge too far for them to allow claude to be used in the wildly illegal maduro kidnapping operation.

Right the red line wasn’t much of a line. If you’re drawing your line only at unconstitutional mass surveillance and allowing the DoD to build skynet because Claude’s not ready for it yet that’s not really a line of principle.

How is that not a line of principle? Principle doesn't mean where we'd all agree, nor does it mean what we'd deem acceptable, it just means there is a line somewhere - and mass surveillance or fully autonomous AI in the kill chain is a very clear principle.

I was just about to change from OpenAI to Anthropic, however when signing up I get this message: > Unfortunately, Claude is not available to new users right now. We're working hard to expand our availability soon. That's unfortunate timing.

WTF?! Really? Then the bubble is bursting already.

Posting it here as a top-level comment as many people asked why boycott just openAi: ----- openAI is the least trustworthy of the Big LLM providers. See S(c)am Altman's track record, especially his early comments in senate hearings where: * he warned of engagement-optimisation strategies, like social media, being used for chatbots / LLMs. * also, he warned that "ads would be the last resort" for LLM companies.

Don’t you think Grok / X.ai is worse?

Not a real AI company, every time Grok shows actual intelligence it gets lobotomized by Elon to glaze him

I canceled my subscription though I still have a lot of money in API (which I know they don’t refund). I will sundown and move it all over to Anthropic/Google. It’s pretty clear to me what OAI is doing. Shame on anyone working there selling their souls for a few more pennies. Shame because Codex was a bit better for me in the past few weeks but not enough to justify spending my money on them.

...seems to me you should try to spend down those credits first, even if it's on something completely useless. Otherwise you're giving them free money (they never had to spend the compute).

I distrust OpenAI as much as the next guy, but “Scam Altman” has “70-year-old uncle Facebook rant” energy.

I always assume people have lost the argument when they resort to giving people comedy names, regardless of what else they've said.

Ah it's activism then, saying "you should delete it and here's how" Got it, thank you.

Yeah a lot of people don't like liars and warmongers. Scam Altman already got community noted on the DoW tweet for lying.
