Anthropic’s latest model that they haven’t released to the public yet since they’re worried its gonna fuck up cybersecurity this thread goes over it a bit
If you have to set up that many rules to get around the inherent flaw of “gambling on everyone’s lives” just run a normal ass poll. gets rid of unnecessary financial incentives
I will never understand why people seriously bet “yes” on these types of things. Like you either loose the bet and loose money or you win the bet and die
Oh really? Damn didn’t know that. Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump somehow manages to bypass the injunction, because Trump. You are right they could drop it due to their old person mental fatigue but they could keep chasing because this is a deeply petty and childish administration
On the subject of AI and the war in Iran, it feels pretty likely to me that the DoD will explode Anthropic with criminal/legal charges in August like they threatened to (unless Dario steps down), which will definitely be ugly
One of the solutions proposed — I am not kidding — is “writing scripts to automate repetitive tasks.” It’s really funny imagining a software engineer being like “woah … like automating the boring stuff, you might say?”

"Reviewing my interview transcripts one night, I discover I’d left my recorder running when I excused myself to use the bathroom at Anthropic. On the tape, Kyle Fish, the AI researcher, and Danielle Ghiglieri, my tattooed guide, are laughing about some visitors to their headquarters the day before, what sounds like a documentary or TV crew.
“I sit right next to Trenton,” Fish says. “I went back and told him, ‘Dude, you really did something to those guys with your sunscreen stuff yesterday.’ He thought it was hilarious.”
They’re both cracking up.
Ghiglieri says Fish, too, had convincingly come off as a “different species of human,” adding: “They were very enamored with you.”
They’re inclined to cooperate with whatever project these people proposed, she says, and make everybody a star. I hadn’t heard Trenton’s sunscreen spiel yet.

Crazy to me how people can so confidently predict AI doomsday, and then just keep working at an AI company
Funny how I’ve heard more about Mythos than the fact that three people have tried to kill Sam Altman
