True. But they’re not lying. This is the aim of the major AI companies. They’re trying to build a monopoly and gate it off. Everything we’re getting access to is throttled and controlled.
Anthropic made a generational mistake.
Framing AI as a technology that’s going to take everyone’s jobs, create cyber weapons, enable autonomous warfare, etc. instead of curing disease and helping humans do more is one of the most unforced errors I’ve ever seen.
How difficult would it have been to frame AI as technology so powerful it’s going to discover cures for disease, allow humans to be more productive, expand what small teams can build, accelerate GDP, and give people leverage they’ve never had before?
Such an unforced error.
