Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."

So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.

Bernie has been repeating, almost verbatim, Dario Amodei's talking points, for a while now, even quote tweeting him. Amodei positions Anthropic as the ethical alternative to OpenAI just like OpenAI positioned itself as the ethical alternative to Google in 2015 and everyone ate it up. This was an article from then, the headline says that Muskrat, Thiel, Altman + friends founded an "altruistic AI venture" 🙄

Tech giants pledge $1bn for 'altruistic AI' venture, OpenAI

Tech giants pledge $1bn (£659m) for OpenAI, a non-profit venture that aims to develop artificial intelligence to benefit humanity.

@timnitGebru cancer kills you in stages. First it starts hovering up all the resources to grow at the cost of everything else, then it puts pressure on other systems making it hard for them to function (markets / governments)
It then either crushes everything else to the point of killing its host and itself
Or it fails leaving catastrophic damage to the host. (Bubble collapse)

Even if the magical black box machine god manages infinite exponential growth as promised (which I doubt) it kills you either directly or by consuming your ecosystem. A child can see linear systems are by definition one way.

The total lack of regulation, the misappropriation of resources (intellectual and other) and the push to militarize by dumping more resources into it bodes so very well.

@curiously @timnitGebru I get you but please note there's a famous quote saying "cancer is not a metaphor". But the analogy stands.
