Whew. I have finally gotten around to reading this essay by Dario Amodei, the CEO and co-founder of AI company Anthropic, which has developed the LLM Claude.

I think everyone should read this, whatever your thoughts are about AI. Even reading just the first part would be worthwhile, though I recommend all of it.

Dario Amodei — The Adolescence of Technology

Confronting and Overcoming the Risks of Powerful AI

This is an important essay by Dario #Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic (#Claude).

I strongly suggest it to all AI-skeptics and to those thinking that humans are (and will always be) "intrinsically" more "clever" than silicon for reasons I do not understand or simply do not share.

Anthropic's positioning of usage red lines get a close examination in this piece https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-situation--thinking-about-anthropic-s-red-lines and it is good.

Suggestions for refinements include adding more specificity to it's definition of "mass surveillance" and adding details scoping out the use cases it objects to.

Anthropic's arguments re "autonomous lethal warfare" could also be further clarified given its statements indicating research on autonomous systems is ok, but using current AI technology is not appropriate b/c it is not reliable enough.

So, the warfare red line is not a strict principle, it's statement of current technological limitations. #Anthropic #Claude #AI #RedLines #Lawsuit #Amodei #MassSurveillance #AutonomousWeapons #SupplyChainRisk #DoD #Military

#YannLeCun via Wired: “I don’t think any of us, whether it’s me or Dario [ #Amodei], #SamAltman, or #ElonMusk, has any legitimacy to decide for society what is a good or bad use of #AI.”

Amodei가 펜타곤을 '비난'한 것에 대해 사과하며, 유출된 내부 커뮤니케이션이 회사 역사상 가장 혼란스러운 위기 중 하나였다고 표현했습니다. 사과로 수위를 낮추고 있으나 일부 입장은 여전히 유지하고 있다는 내용입니다.

Amodei apologizes for "bashing" the Pentagon, acknowledging that his leaked internal communications were handled poorly during what he described as one of the most "disorienting" crises in the company's history. While Amodei is walking back his rhetoric, he is not walking back

Siamo passati da "l'IA è il tuo copilota personale" a "l'IA guida i missili" in tempo record.

#Anthropic ha rifiutato di piegarsi al #Pentagono. Ora è un paria per il governo, ma il CEO #Amodei è divenuto un eroe per chi crede che l'etica non sia negoziabile.

Some "good" headlines of recent days: #Anthropic the paragon of virtue! The world a better place if we buy useless crap from European #corporations, not U.S. ones! #Solar makes us independent of oil and #geopolitics!

Last time I checked, though, #Amodei is still an utterly deluded #broligarch, European corporations are just as greedy as U.S. ones, and #solar_panels come from China.

We need real change. Not feel-good straws to grasp at while we continue our fall...
