@byjacobward: Dario Amodei’s essay is the work of a man clearly caught between impossible pressures, and it’s worth a read. Hit TheRipCurrent.com for a breakdown. Link in bio. #anthropic #openai #whistleblower #ipo #ripcurrent
The TechBros are slowing down to cover up their incompetence and over valuation of AI. Additionally, they trying to plug the money pit holes.

I think people are missing the boat here. This amount of investment cannot ever be reproduced so there will never be competitors in our lifetimes. They want a sanctioned duopoly. Duopoly is arguably more powerful and less subject to regulation than a monopoly today. Silicon Valley recognized this awhile ago. Look at Uber/Lyft, iOS/Android, Windows/Mac, Intel/AMD. You actually don’t want to kill your biggest competitor, you just say you do and then make it about humanity and safety.

There’s no way to stop now. If we do, China or other 1st world adversaries will surpass us and be a significant threat to the U.S. If we don’t stop now, there’s a significant threat to our lives. So it’s all over essentially. China can say they’ll stop but behind the scenes they won’t. The power hungry nature of man will be the downfall

In the old days if you released something on the Internet that did harm the person who released it was charged and punished. Why are we not doing that now? Would that not force the necessary caution?

So, buried in there is him saying "please give us a free pass to work together" from Congress. So they can bypass anti-trust laws. The whole thing feels like a play to get a free pass for anti-trust rules by using scare tactics. We aren't going to stop, so let us work together without being prosecuted. That seems sus. Don't get me wrong, we are running full tilt to being ended by our own creation, but him asking for a free pass seems more like a play than him having a legit fear.

You don't see a connection between Dario titling his piece "Pacing the Frontier" the same as what came out July 28?

What is the logical end state with AGI? Is it a way for a small company to make trillions? No. The end state doesn’t make money for people and these guys are figuring out that they won’t be able to make money off of an AI product because they will lose control kinda by definition. If they need to stop or slow down they can now. They could do a 90 day halt on all AI research that’s on hardware. That’s actual code running somewhere.

Why do you take him at face value? He could just slow down if he felt like it was really critical. Or he could focus his company on developing AI that explicitly fights against the bad guys, if he actually believes the narrative many think is just a ruse.

Pacing the frontier…. Using independent evaluators…, sounds like good steps toward some regulation, particularly a global effort to do this. Thank you for making this understandable for us uninformed

Honest question: how is it that we believe China is behind in the race when they clearly are far ahead in autonomous robotics and manufacturing?

You can’t just stop. if China or any other countries quote win quote then we’re all screwed. We have to go as fast as possible.

How does anyone fall for this crap? It’s obvious what Amodei is doing here. Anthropic and Open AI deserve to fall apart.
