Taken verbatim from Anthropic’s Economic Policy Framework ( https://www.anthropic.com/policy-on-the-ai-exponential/epf ): > We are not seeking job displacement. We are working to prevent or minimize it. Some amount of displacement, though we cannot say how much, may be an intrinsic consequence of the technology, and our responsibility is to prepare for it and respond to it.

“We are not seeking virtual torture caused by Roko’s Basilisk. We are working to prevent or minimize virtual torture caused by it. Some amount of virtual torture, though we cannot say how much, may be an intrinsic consequence of the technology, and our responsibility is to prepare for it and respond to it. That is what this framework is for.”

I never know how earnestly to take any Roko's Basilisk mention

Time to deploy to the staging environment after discussing it in the war room.

"Staging" is not and has never been a military analogy. All kinds of workers have staging areas. Brick layers stage their work before laying. Builders stage materials. Staging is an area where you place your work before you begin deploying it.

Well, according to Sonnet, the term "staging" refers to assembling troops and equipment at an intermediate location before moving forward into an operation.

I really didn't know, but was curious, so I used an LLM to research it.

This seems like one way to saddle nonprofits with functional, but potentially very expensive systems, set up by someone who helps them for a year then disappears and leaves them with no expertise to do long-term cost control or functionality improvements.

They know it's a temporary job going in, though. How is this different than having an intern? If they're not using this opportunity to train other staff then that seems like a management problem.

Interns don't typically have a job description that describes trying to push a specific software system from a vendor.

Why everything they do sounds shady?

Probably because it is shady?

To express deeper subtlety and nuance for Anthropic's position, they are riding the wave of the announced destruction of the white collar class.

This is their way of justification and assuagement.

It is a noble sentiment, but also a token gesture.

1. creating and marketing products that are explicitly trying to automate, if not entire professions, at least big parts of them

For example?

Most of the products they build seem to be tools rather than replacements.
