Broadly agree to this position - I think there are some people skeptical that Anthropic is doing this for regulatory capture - but I think there are being honest about they are seeing and how regulation should catch up.

I for one, believe that we should pause all work on AI for the forseeable future. This is almost impossible to orchestrate - but we should still try nevertheless. Maybe we are not able to pause, but we are able to slow down. That might give us more room, to maybe able to pause in the future. But going ahead is too dangerous.

And its not just Anthropic which is saying this. Even Geoffry Hinton has said the same thing. If there is a non-zero chance that AI can kill all of humanity, and both Geoffry and Anthropic have the same position, then it makes sense for us to be hundred percent sure before we move ahead. Dario/Anthropic have already made their money from AI, maybe they are just being honest about what they think lies ahead.

no, it really doesnt.

the end of humanity has a strong case for banning all burning of fossil fuels immediately

the end of humanity as a sales tactic to increase your stock price does not

these are companies working on their IPO to make sure they can get the best price, not people being honest about what they think lies ahead.

if they were being honest about what lies ahead, they'd unilaterally stop training, and put all of their money into FPV drone bombs to destroy datacenters being used for training or inference

if you actually believe the thing is gonna kill everyone, you're not gonna worry about how you stop it, and certainly not keep building and operating the thing

that they arent buying anti-tank mines to drop on data centers says they arent in the slightest serious about it

		So what you’re telling me is that EY was the clearest thinking one out of all of them?

"Even Geoffry Hinton has said the same thing"

The same bozo who claimed radiologists would be out of a job by now.

The data does not support what you nor others say. Jesus christ. Cant believe people are this dumb. Has LLMs infested the minds of people to the extent they can't critically analyse whats happening infront of their eyes?
