@karpathy - good intentions are a given at Anthropic. It’s how they operate with them is the issue.
You are inside the room so you obviously know more but on the whole, looking at the trajectory of the company - at no point, did it operate outside of “we are the only ones who can ensure AI safety, we are the only ones who should be given government/regulatory blessing, everyone else in the space is inept or not trustworthy” framework. It’s not a new business model. Every wave of monopolies did this.
To say, this time it’s different would be insult to humanity’s entire history of building technology to solve problems and adapting quickly.
Ikr. There is a small fraction of good, constructive, “high effort” takes mixed with *a lot* of dunking, piling on, jumping to conclusions, wild extrapolations and conspiracies. Always happy to see/read the former. The reality is that there are genuinely well intentioned people trying their best to navigate all of this.
