@davidgerard i have often felt that an entire corporation needs to go to jail but until anthropic id never before felt that an entire corporation needs to go to the hospital

@davidgerard
Wait. Is that why they're leaving ahead of the IPO? Like, they got their bag - or promises have been made - and then they make a noisy exit while banging on about how important and powerful and inevitable AI is going to be?

@davidgerard

the kind of brainrot that enables people to believe it's possible to "revolutionize any field overnight" from first principles and a large corpus of mostly-unreplicable studies is only subpassed by the kind of brainrot that believes a next word guesser is capable of reasoning in any capacity

@davidgerard I wonder when someone in a position like that will actually be concerned enough to, I don't know, do something about it?

Like, setting aside the fact that those concerns are blatantly misplaced at this point (there are *real* problems with AI *now*), it's kind of insane to imagine:

> Wow, *I'm* in the center of this doomsday-level problem and have access no one else does... Better just not involve myself and do nothing about it! I sure hope someone takes it seriously soon!
