At what point do we stop engaging with Anthropic’s leadership in good faith and acknowledge their track record, - no open weights - can’t use claude to research AI - train on everyone else’s IP and sell it back to them - 8 regulatory capture attempts and counting - so controlling they are the only US company blacklisted by the US government This is not effective altruism / rationalism gone wild, it’s just monopolisti…

In the system cards. Anthropic will literally make Claude sabotage you silently instead of downgrading you to Opus if you try to use Fable for AI research.
Don't they just fallback to opus non-silently?

Problem with Anthropic is that they benefited massively from open source and now are completely against it. It’s hypocrisy at its worst. Why do they get to benefit, but not everyone else?
If this is going to factor into my reasoning about the topic at hand, it will surely be a secondary or tertiary consideration at best. Same goes for much of the list in the root comment. We are discussing the possibility of severe adverse societal/world/human impacts from AI, why should open vs closed source/weights, copyright violations, anti-competitive moves, corporate hypocrisy, etc be so heavily weighted in the…

> OpenAI / Anthropic models have largely stopped advancing - that's not a good look when you're pre-IPO and Chinese models are catching up. What is going on in this thread? Are these even real comments? While I strongly agree on the need to pace the frontier, I do think there are reasonable arguments that could be made against it. Non of those are being made here though. It's just speculation that the CEOs of the fas…
They may be genuinely concerned, but that's beside the point. You may think a technology holds too much power for someone to wield it, and therefore come to conclusion that you, the benevolent, the fluffy, the unicorn, with your 3 unicorn friends are the ONLY ones in the world of 8 billion people that are responsible enough to hold it. Even though I don't think Dario is such a person, because unlike their LLMs, I do…
I agree with you that we can't allow a handful of people to hold this power themselves, so what are you arguing for here? That the answer is to just leave AI labs to carry on as they are?
The government should be ensuring that the technology is being developed with caution, but since the government seems to have no interest in that, this is at least better than nothing.
Your solution of giving everyone access to super intelligence is absurd. A good guy with super intelligence isn't going to protect you from the bad guy with super intelligence. If someone uses it to poison your water supply with a bioweapon or to take out power stations, you and your family will be dead long before your super intelligence hacks together plan to stop it.

> Suppose it was, I don't know, Australia producing SOTA open weights, because they believed it was the right thing to do for the benefits of humanity - would Dario propose making Australia a geopolitical adversary too? I'd expect he thinks that people are capable of realizing that AI is very dangerous and also that democracies end up mostly representing the will of the people, from which it follows that Hypothetical…
> This argument doesn't work for countries which don't care what their citizens want, like China. you didn’t have to use China as an example, the US clearly does not care what its citizens want as the most popular policies are never even discussed or proposed in congress meanwhile, China destroying their housing market to decommidify it so everyone can have housing…they seem to care about their people more
This is what we should’ve been doing a long time ago.

What a foolish comment, LLMs empower capital owners far more than the 'working class'
Only in how they are deployed, not in principle.
I'd like to have some info what those independent evaluators are supposed to do exactly - or which risks Dario specifically sees as being "unaligned". Evidently, with "pacing" he doesn't mean stopping the production of ever-more powerful models, so what exactly does he want to pace here?

"- so controlling they are the only US company blacklisted by the US government"
They were blacklisted by the US government because they didn't bribe Trump. While all the rest of the tech elite lined up to siphon a few million dollars through various Trump grifts, Anthropic sat out the inauguration, the ballroom, etc. Then, when they mildly pushed back on surveilling US citizens with their technology, the administration banned them on that pretext.
If there's any evidence Anthropic is one of the better actors in an industry full of bad actors, that's it. They have nothing to be ashamed of in that particular series of events, as far as I can tell.
