So, now it's mis-anthropic?

#112Dario’s opinion on safety won’t necessarily matter if he’s not even in the room. This move keeps him in the room.

I consider this a bigger deal than the Pentagon thing.
While not surprising at the least, it still kind of crazy that literal pdf files in charge is not concerning, but this is. I just hope something happens to USA before it can do damage to the world.
What PDFs are you referring to? Do Anthropic or other LLMs using PDFs as some kind of 'SOUL.md' file or for training?

#114I don’t blame anthropic here. The government literally threatened their existence publicly. They either agreed or their business would be nationalized.
It's not like that happened out of the blue. (Which could've also been the case in today's day and age.) Anthropic shouldn't have gotten involved in government contracts to begin with.
They inserted themselves into the supply chain, and then the government told them that they'll be classified as a supply chain risk unless they get unfettered access to the tech. They knew what they were getting into, but didn't want the competitors to get their slice of the pie.
The government didn't pursue them, Anthropic actively pursued government and defense work.
Talk about selling out. Dario's starting to feel more and more like a swindler, by the day.

It's in your nature to destroy yourselves
Defeatist bullshit becomes self-fulfilling at some point. "Oh we're all gonna die anyway so we might as well milk this thing for profit. Après moi la déluge."
... the fact that you are missing a reference doesn't require that level of disdain

I wouldn't think so. Regulatory capture is a pretty typical activity for a dominant company.
Why is this down voted? Happens all the time, the large corporations always try to block using regulatory capture.
People not liking the concept, but shooting the messenger? (But seems not downvoted anymore.)

#117How is this article not going to even mention the recent threats to Anthropic from the Government?!
This was on the news yesterday:
> The meeting between Hegseth and Amodei was confirmed by a defense official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

No, they either agreed or fought the government. You’re allowed to fight governments. Mahatma Gandhi and Reverend King Jr did it, and they wrote about how to do it. You might lose sometimes, but my god, you can at least fight.
Neither of them had shareholders to please.

#119Ah, the classic AI startup lifecycle: We must build a moat to save humanity from AI. Please regulate our open-source competitors for safety. Actually, safety doesn't scale well for our Q3 revenue targets.
Foundational model provider manifesto: ‘While there’s value in safety, we value the Pentagon’s dollars more’
It turns out the biggest threat to AI safety is capitalism, who would have thought

How about this quote instead?
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has threatened Anthropic, saying officials could invoke powers that would allow the government to force the artificial intelligence firm to share its novel technology in the name of national security if it does not agree by Friday to terms favorable to the military"
