I'm friends with one of the Anthropic founders for over 15 years now, and I just find this line of thinking so sad. They are not manipulative fear mongering people, they're actually very decent people who you might consider listening to.

If that were true, they wouldn't publish hype results that then turn out to be completely unsubstantiated. Remember the "agents built a web browser"? I can't personally judge your friend as I don't know him. But the company is consistently lying about how good their product is in order to hype it up.

I don't talk to said friend about their work, so I genuinely have no insight here, but if I were a betting man, I'd bet what they have internally is considerably disparate from what is currently available in their consumer product.

The stuff they have internally might be slightly better than what they have now lmao. You have to super dense to believe otherwise.

Also I don't need the Anthropic ghouls telling me what I can or can not ask their stupid bot. At least Elon doesn't play this sad censorship game where you cannot say "boob" to it without it locking down.

Yeah and my dad works at Nintendo. If they want us to listen they really need to stop with releasing all the bullshit and over exaggeration what their chat bot does. And stop freaking whining about "MUHHH CHINA". Those ghouls stole almost all the books in the world, I hope China steals all from them and keeps releasing the free models.

Well, if your dad isn't one of the founder of Nintendo your point is moot. Given I was on the founding team of digitalocean as head of strategy till the IPO, and one of the founders of anthropic is a former tech journalist who covered my startups, maybe my friend is a founder of Anthropic?! Sorry your dad didn't work anywhere cool tho. :(

[viking123]

Who cares about these journalists. My point is that Amodei is a complete ghoul and loves fear mongering normies and being racist towards Chinese while HIS company stole all the damn books in the world. I hope the Chinese steal all their data and keep doing public models. This guy can't even figure a solution for his balding head let alone making an AGI lmao. But let Anthropic keep tricking midwits along. Elon has 100x the backbone that these fraudsters have btw.

For God's sake these guys are selling the doubling of human life span to some desperate elderly investors. Really going for people's deepest fears there. Oh yes just invest in us so you can get double the life span and don't have to die!

Alright well I can tell you're grumpy about this so how about we agree to disagree? I don't know Dario so I couldn't say, but I do trust Jack a lot. That aside: this is the 3rd time I've heard the racist towards Chinese thing, what exactly is that all about if you'd be willing to save me a google?
