Translation: yay, more paternalism.

Anthropic always goes on and on about how their models are world changing and super dangerous like every single time they make something new they say its going to rewrite everything and scary lmao

funny because they do it every time like clockwork acting like their ai is a thunderstorm coming to wipe out the world

You say this like it's a bad thing, but wouldn't you rather they overindex on the danger of their models?

		That’s not what they are doing. They are just hyping up the product - and, no doubt, trying to foster a climate of awe so that when they ask their friends in Washington to legislate on their behalf, the environment is more receptive.

If there are advancements, they have to be described somehow.

What if the capability advancements are real and they warrant a higher level of concern or attention?

Are we just going to automatically dismiss them because "bro, you're blowing it up too much"

Either way these improvements to capabilities are ratcheting along at about the pace that many people were expecting (and were right to expect). There is no apparent reason they will stop ratcheting along any time soon.

The rational approach is probably to start behaving as if models that are as capable as Anthropic says this one is do actually exist (even if you don't believe them on this one). The capabilities will eventually arrive, most likely sooner than we all think, and you don't want to be caught with your pants down.

		I believe advancements sure. But it is a very boy who cried wolf situation for some of these. There are other companies that behave less in this way, Antrhopic seem very unique in that they love making every single release a world ender
