I know everyone has different opinions on LLM safety/ethics and I respect that. However for me this “AI Welfare” indicates that Anthropic is lead by lunatics and that’s more scary. You have to be pretty crazy to worry the code running on GPUs has “feelings”.

I assume it's another tactic to make it seem like even Anthropic are kind of shocked at how powerful their own tech has become: "wow, our AI is SO ADVANCED we decided we better start considering its well-being", along the lines of when Altman pretended some model (which they're currently selling) was just too dangerous to release. Marketing.

> Anthropic is lead by lunatics

I think you mean scam artists. Cranking the hype up further so they can get other people to fork over even more money.

Good point. That probably explains it best.

the AI boosting community is a cult

it really is that simple

See DuoLingo CEOs comments recently.

Tech CEOs are disassociated loons.

Zero obligation in life to do anything for themselves. Just stare at the geometry of reality and emit some empty thought speak.

Just the new church leadership; we all serve them like mommy has since childhood.

These people are absolutely pathetic and entitled children coddled by wealth.
