And now Anthropic's CEO "We must slow the pace" of AI development.
To make a plea for slowing development, while being ideally placed to do exactly that, is to produce in us the notion that development cannot be stopped, that technological development is out of control. This is part of the 'Inevitablism' delusion big tech actively propagates.
Like arsonists petitioning for stronger protections against the 'phenomena' of arsony.
It is a patronising ploy, social engineering.
They mock us.
It's like cop assisted suicide fr
@JulianOliver the psychopath lending a hand with the investigation because they're drawn to the spotlight therein.
@JulianOliver "please please please capture us with regulations! You can trust us to to the right thing, but only if everyone else is locked out of trying"
Amodei in a DM to Altman, as the first nukes take air and grids go dark:
'Well, we did tell them this would happen, that we needed to be stopped. But nobody did anything'

I have a theory that maybe the AI frontier labs want to slow down because its actually impossible for them to go any faster.
They might have hit a limit, either in the performance of the model or in their costs. And to save face, they can just say they are *intentionally* slowing down instead of admitting that they are getting diminishing returns on their investments.
