"We're working on something so amazing you better hold us back! Honestly we're going to release our AGI any day now, just a few more rounds of VC and boom."
No Anthropic has always had the greater good in mind and only wants to improve the human condition.
HA, just kidding! They've established themselves as total manipulative assholes who will stop at nothing for market dominance. They'd claw their own mothers' eyeballs out if it helped them increase market share.
The idea features heavily in the widely read AI 2027 doomsday scenario of last year, which imagines AI agents designing more and more intelligent versions of themselves, one of which eventually kills all of humanity with a bioweapon in order to make room for more datacentres and solar panels.
I haven't heard any good end of the world stories lately. Can anyone find a pattern in Nostradamus that PROVES 2027 is THE year? I need to get on YouTube and start warning everyone.
Unless they developed something radically different than, transformer architecture from Google and mixture of experts from Deepseek, this is just absolute bullshit. Just like they claimed Mythos is something out of this world, but it was just another step in the progress.
Yes. Let's pause. And then have a serious discussion about distributing benefits, taxation, work and wages, shared possession of the tech that's going to be the future and realities for building data centers. Oh, no pause? Okay then.
If they are saying this that means the alternative (likely the open source versions) are getting close to compete directly to their top of the line models. That also means don't stop.
Is this the same Anthropic that just a few weeks ago declared that the internet and computers are all officially dead because their hacker bot was actually so unbelievably powerful that it had already hacked every computer in existence and can only be stopped if you just buy a bigger subscription bro just one more subscription tier bro buy another subscription you will die if you don’t

I think it’s cause they are the leader right now, so naturally now that they got theirs, they want to pull the ladder from under them.

Anthropic was started from all the safety engineers that left OpenAI over safety concerns

And then they immediately became as evil as OpenAI. More in fact, if such a thing is possible.

Sorry I just meant I wanted to read about how Anthropic has become more evil than OpenAI, could you link me there please?

Anthropic once again trying to brand themselves as the good guys, while actively cooperating with the NSA.

Isn't this basically Anthropic trying to shield itself from new market entrants?

Yup, speedrunning regulatory capture + it's so good it's dangerous marketing.
db2@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 72d
So that means anthropic made a predictive model that actually works and it predicted heads in a basket. "We aren't the bad guys, pinky promise!"
Madrigal@lemmy.world · 47 pts · 72d
No it means Anthropic think they have a head start and want to capitalise on it.

This. Big companies only want regulations so that they can be made onorous enough to force smaller companies out of business.

Yeah this is them getting ahead of a crash and maybe trying to also get a competitive advantage if things work out.
Everything I have seen is people complaining about Claude getting worse and eating through 10x more tokens.

If we have the option to pause, we should also have the option to stop, eject, and throw the damn thing in the garbage.
