replyYour priorities are not everyone else's priorities. The people concerned about AI extinction risk list those as three of their biggest priorities for AI to not do. Those are the people whose culture Anthropic descends from, and by their measure, those exclusions make this the least evil path.
More like Anthropic’s priorities are not everyone else’s priorities. They are in the consistent culture of being in absolute control and dictating what is good and bad, while taking any opportunity to trash and crush potential competitors (open source models happened to be mostly developed in China). All these in the name of safety and anti-authoritarian.
replyThe day self hosted models catch up with Anthropic’s capabilities is when they will fully lose their shit. This day can’t come soon enough
Extinction risk. From population genetics... Does Anthropic even employ biologists? It's magical thinking about a field that is poorly understood by their community.

I told everyone here that Anthropic are not your friends for months.

Didn’t Anthropic famously refuse to work with the US gov on military applications that would violate its safeguards?
