Anthropic on #AI
"I am a scientist. I lead a research team that studies the internal structure of these models—what is actually happening inside them. And I will be honest: we keep finding things that are mysterious, even unsettling. We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience. We find evidence of introspection. We find internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease. I don’t know what that means, but I think it warrants ongoing discernment

Chris Olah's comments at the Vatican yesterday—speaking alongside Pope Leo XIV for the release of the papal encyclical Magnifica Humanitas—are arguably some of the most fascinating and candid remarks to ever come out of a frontier AI lab.
@appassionato "arguably some of the most fascinating and candid remarks to ever come out of a frontier AI lab."
Yeah, arguably. I'd argue that he might also not be candid but playing the same card Amodei and Altman already have played several time, the "terrible implications of AI", that doublespeak of "look how terrible and potent this tool is, how dangerous" and "also we're still making it". I don't believe him. He's paid to say that. This benefits his company, or the company thinks it does.
