Ignoring the whataboutism here, what about it was distasteful? Please see HN rule #1, this is not the community for that kind of discourse.

#52Anthropic: "Our new models are so mighty and dangerous, we'll limit access." US admin: "Thanks for the warning, we'll do the same then" This was an epic (and deserved) own-goal. ( btw heres what most likely happened, they refused to fix a jailbreak: https://x.com/DavidSacks/status/2065853007619588171 )
This is retaliation by the us gov for not unlocking Claude to use on their weapon. Not good for anybody

> Amodei has always been and always will be a creep Like at what point do the weird and random Amodei smears start to seem like an orchestrated attempt?
They’re not weird or random when you’ve lived around many people like him before. Apparently not enough of us have unfortunately, so you keep elevating them when you should know better. So here I am trying to give you a heads up.

Also, supposedly biggest MMA event Rogan doesn't want to be on. Something is up
Rogan is a tool.
I just can't get his popularity, he isn't smart, he isn't a great speaker, his opinions on actually important stuff is often... just sad to hear, hyping up a 'bro effect and thats about it. Its like listening to that old buddy from primary school who struggled to get through high school, and now as an adult gathered some interesting opinions about the world, politics and humans that you really are not interested in.
Tons of better folks online, if somebody really has nothing better going in their short lives to listen to blahs for 3 hours, repeatedly. I guess there are worse ways to spend time though

Unfortunately it's not widely distributed information, if you care so much about shedding a light on Amodei's shadiness it would help a lot folks like me to understand what you are talking about. I know of Sam Altman's shenanigans from way before OpenAI (I used to be on reddit a lot more when `sama` appeared over there) but I have no idea about Amodei. Help us out because otherwise it really does read as yet another…
I can’t offer any more than that, because it’s all I have. It’s about observation not conspiracy.

#57Anecdotally, I think this is a much bigger cleanup than just talking to the administration. I think there's a wider damage done which there is no coming back from. And this is for the USA, not Anthropic. The chance that sovereignty and rules such as this could be applied to AI was a concern that a lot of people had, but the risk was unknown. Speaking for myself, I had guessed this would happen at some point of time.…

This could mean literally anything.
It could imply many things, in terms of how that actually manifests in their behaviour. But I don’t care about that at all.
I only wish us plebs would stop inflicting them on ourselves.

Interesting statement with various meanings :) I just can't get his popularity, he isn't smart, he isn't a great speaker, his opinions on actually important stuff is often... just sad to hear, hyping up a 'bro effect and thats about it.
