Anthropic is different because they're committed to safety.

Huh. They went from zero to evil in 0.05 googles.

[flashmobofone@mastodon.art]

@mttaggart Yeah, gathered that when they capitulated to incompetent fascist psychopaths.

Anthropic’s chief science officer Jared Kaplan told TIME in an exclusive interview. “We didn't really feel, with the rapid advance of AI, that it made sense for us to make unilateral commitments … if competitors are blazing ahead.”

Kaplan, the Anthropic executive and co-founder, denied the company’s decision to change course was a capitulation to market incentives as the race for superintelligence accelerates.

Amazing. You can literally state this as
"While we're doing this because other people in the market can move faster if they don't also have this restriction, meaning the market is providing incentives to remove this restriction, we categorically deny that removing this restriction has anything to do with market incentives."

@mttaggart do these people not understand what a pledge is?

[mttaggart@infosec.exchange]

@Wyatt_H_Knott They understand that it's great marketing, until it gets in the way of business

[wyatt_h_knott@vermont.masto.host]

@mttaggart Someone should tell them that we still haven't forgiven google for giving up on their pledge.

@mttaggart Because the first law of aibotics is An AIbot may not injure its grifters' quarterly cash flow or, by inaction, allow said cash flow to come to harm before the quarterly report is out.

@mttaggart I'm an optimist. Sometimes they believe what they say and then are fired.

Or they just become a different person. A person that wants money more.

@mttaggart AI WILL IMPRISON US.

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@mttaggart Didn’t the US DOD threaten them with contract loss if they don’t agree to their models being used to kill people?

I would guess they would have to go pretty deep into the core of their reasoning training material to make the models not refuse hurting humans. 🤔

@Wyatt_H_Knott @mttaggart Conclusion:
Capitalism literally kills people for profit.

@theorangetheme @mttaggart Wait until some brilliant mind decides to wires those triggers to some agentic AI bot...

"OK, Claude. Whenever you see a Palestinian, I want you to highlight that person in my HUD. This applies especially if the person is trying to hide from me."

@mttaggart @isotopp So it goes. And also No shit Sherlock

[codinghorror@infosec.exchange]

@mttaggart I would ALWAYS bet against Anthropic, just for their Effective Altruism DNA alone.

@mttaggart "“We didn't really feel, with the rapid advance of AI, that it made sense for us to make unilateral commitments … if competitors are blazing ahead.”

even if those "blazing ahead" are actually creating loads of fires???

[sanpan@mas.to]

@mttaggart From Hegseth‘s ultimatum in the morning to them complying after 4 corporate hours…that‘s like 40 human years of strongly worded dissent.

[wyatt_h_knott@vermont.masto.host]

@gimulnautti @mttaggart Well, in this particiular case I think what we've shown is that capitalism is willing to lie and has no morals, but jumping straight to murder isn't necessarily uncalled for. Let's ask ourselves why they call it capital punishment.

[humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world]

@mttaggart Don't be evil. Be Evil.
