Shifting their focus from Training new models to instead serving inference, they would greatly reduce their spend. In fact this is something being reported on that they are already doing, which is the reason for their first ever profitable quarter.
Its awfully convenient that the company which has greatly reduced its spend on training is now asking for a slow down in this area.

That would be like trying to get every country to agree to give up nukes.

Tear down or reinforce?
capital/ability to leverage labor is going to lose power
Workingmen of all countries unite!

AI tech bro: Month 1 - 6 months to AGI Month 2 - We will Replace all jobs Month 3 - Okay maybe only the SWEs, programming is solved Month 4 - Announce model that is too dangerous to release Month 5 - Releases dangerous model Month 6 - This is it! We will replace AIs with more AIs (*secretly files for IPO) AI is here to stay, like it or not but it is not the solution to everything. If it is, what is Anthropic's moat?…
free chatgpt doesn't need to exist anymore. its job was to build hype/interest and it did.
but take it away and you solve many social problems and annoyances caused by AI with no loss to the upside of AI. no more cheating students in school. no more shitty linkedin posts. no more dangerous "therapy sessions" that give bad advice.
> We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology. The Anthropic Institute will conduct research—in collaboration with many others—and take actions to help build the systems that a credible slowdown or pause would require. Interesting - they're commiting…
We should be skeptical of any major player that advocates for regulating their own industry. In practice, this just means increasing barriers to entry and making it harder to compete with them. In my mind we should be trying to push AI along the Linux trajectory. You have a free and open source product, developed by a decentralized team with a strong code of ethics, running on commodity hardware. There can still be t…

I think certain types of people with power, i.e. access to capital, will lose relevance. world will become more meritcratic with ai as leverage to the individual
So the most capital intensive industry we've ever created will put less power in the hands of those with capital?
I'm sorry, I have no idea how you came to that conclusion...

Whichever side I may stand on, pausing just seems unnatural? Life is movement.
