One of the solutions proposed — I am not kidding — is “writing scripts to automate repetitive tasks.” It’s really funny imagining a software engineer being like “woah … like automating the boring stuff, you might say?”
If I’m getting this right, they’re going to cut the cost of automating everything…by automating more things?
For lawsuits that actually are happening, OpenAI is getting sued by dictionaries
Microsoft MIGHT be suing OpenAI
Strong might, since nothing is set in stone yet. There have been talks where Microsoft has threatened to sue but that’s it so far
Reading the article again, that definitely feels like the angle the author was going for
The Founder of Anthropic Says He Wants to Protect Humanity From AI. Just Don’t Ask How. another long article about the AI craze and in particular Anthropic. A snippet that stood out to me:
"Reviewing my interview transcripts one night, I discover I’d left my recorder running when I excused myself to use the bathroom at Anthropic. On the tape, Kyle Fish, the AI researcher, and Danielle Ghiglieri, my tattooed guide, are laughing about some visitors to their headquarters the day before, what sounds like a documentary or TV crew.
“I sit right next to Trenton,” Fish says. “I went back and told him, ‘Dude, you really did something to those guys with your sunscreen stuff yesterday.’ He thought it was hilarious.”
They’re both cracking up.
Ghiglieri says Fish, too, had convincingly come off as a “different species of human,” adding: “They were very enamored with you.”
They’re inclined to cooperate with whatever project these people proposed, she says, and make everybody a star. I hadn’t heard Trenton’s sunscreen spiel yet. Only later, over lunch, would he tell me that he stopped protecting himself against skin cancer because AI was going to end the world in five years.
Crazy to me how people can so confidently predict AI doomsday, and then just keep working at an AI company
I wonder if one of the reasons Pete Hegseth is going so hard after Anthropic is that he and other idiots in the Pentagon unironically believes shit like AI 2027 and so wants to soft nationalize the frontier companies so to control the coming AGI.
That is absolutely the reason, or at least part of it. See: Pete Hegseth Got His Happy Meal and how AGI-is-nigh doomers own-goaled themselves
Reading comments cause I was bored, and had the misfortune to stumble upon this horribly formatted piece of work allegedly written by Claude
I mean after the Epstein Files you have to be either deliberately ignorant or incredibly dense to not realise the rich get off easily
the Pentagon’s CTO has AI psychosis now. sighhhhhhhhh
The whole argument can just be countered with “if the Pentagon believes Claude is sentient and a danger to the military, then why make a deal with OpenAI to use ChatGPT, another LLM similar to Claude? Wouldn’t that also be a danger of becoming sentient? and why are Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump planning to force Anthropic to comply after 6 months if they believe Claude shouldn’t be in the military?? Why did you ask Anthropic to let you use Claude for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons if you believed it was sentient and a danger??”
It just reeks of bullshit. “uhm actually we made Anthropic a supply chain risk because Claude is actually very dangerous and not because we’re doing banana republic shit to anyone who disagrees with us. we are a very responsible and safe government. please dont impeach trump.”
to follow this one up: there is now a new study about AI agents being dogshit at keeping code working over the long term
Anthropic is suing the Pentagon
This whole saga is a resounding “everyone sucks here”. but I’m gonna have to side with Anthropic on this one because at least they have some incredibly basic standards, which is far more than I can say for the current government and OpenAI, though the real best outcome is if the government and the AI industry destroy each other
(this has now been deemed high-quality enough for its own post)
I fucking hope it’s soon
Dario Amodei Issues Groveling Apology for Daring to Criticize Trump
Knowing this administration there’s no way Anthropic can strike an agreement again (unless they compromise their stance) since the US Government is deadset on murderbots, so prepare for the whole industry to be domino’d
add another tally to “AI completely wipes out an important database” sighhhh
oh hey I remember reading that Donald Knuth paper earlier today, when it got posted by an AI youtube channel as ‘proof’ AI is on the path to AGI
I mean there is a lot of crazy bullshit in there so I don’t blame anyone for getting derailed
