Probably just delaying the inevitable. I’m pretty sure that the genie is out of the bottle.
We are so screwed.
It was only a matter of time. I’m pretty sure we all suspected that this would come to pass. Just be glad that we dodged the bullet for as long as we did.
Now, back to my cave on a remote island.
Unplug the power cable?
Shirley you jest?.
Don't you think that the AI system knows this....?
The AI system recognizes the threat of the human hand on the switch.
The response is to hack into nuclear war systems and start a nuclear war so humans get eradicated,
Note to self...Preppers Rule
Quadruple up on ammo, coffee, cans of food, cigarettes and medical supplies.
Ham radio channels for communication.
Over and out.
Amodei is a fraud. It became clear after the Mythos marketing stunt. Ignore everything coming out of his mouth regarding present and future products. He is just trying to increase his company’s valuation before the upcoming IPO.
sure and get China to agree to that. otherwise shut up.
We are all waiting for the scientific breakthroughs.
Anthropic has had too many recent drama queen ‘incidents’ lately.
- Fired by the War Department for forcing guardrail controls on them. Apparently hamstringing our battlefield plans?
- Parts of their ‘claude’ source code was then somehow accidently ‘released’ so China and Russia or anyone else can now have it.
- Oh wait, lets everyone (else) pause AI research, lest Anthropic lose control.
- Oh lookee over here!, a $70 billion dollar IPO
My spidey sense it tingling.
Isn’t that like Keith Richards telling people not to use drugs?
BS any pause would simply be to let the rest of the world catch up.
If these companies such as Anthropic have been able to accomplish what they already have, imagine what the government has at their disposal.
China: Oh, yes, let’s all pause, for sure.
