It's all a bit hyped up for the media though. It's like saying a rapist is good but a murder is bad. Both are bad, you can argue either way but ultimiately both OpenAI, Anthropic and likely Google will enable/disable whatever systems to allow killing humans if it means they get a big check from the US Gov.

Anthropic has let its system kill humans, although it happened in a roundabout way which in my opinion, doesn't dissolve their responsibility.

"A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision".

The fact we are drifting away from this every day scares me.

I understand what you're saying, it's incredible technology and I use it everyday in my work, but we are too busy racing to one up each other and ignoring the critical safety components, which is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. Even Anthropic to your point, was supposed to be the safer AI company when they started out, but they continue to move away from that path slowly. The problem is the cat's out of the bag and people won't stop now unless something terrible happens. Question is, how bad of an event will it be?
