Watch Christopher Olah bloviate at the Vatican during the Magnifica Humanatis launch. It's truly nauseating. I've never seen such a ridiculous speech in my life. Between him and the CEO, I'm starting to understand the level of arrogance these people are capable of.

Literally nothing in his speech was controversial though.

Strongly disagree. He sat in front of a room full of Archbishops and told them, straight faced, that the worlds about to have mass layoffs and starvation and that the Church should feel responsible for doing something about it. The guy's a complete sociopath.

He's not wrong. Mass layoffs and starvation are a problem society needs to solve collectively. The other side of the singularity will be great but we all bear a collective responsibility to get there in one piece.

Very much disagree with this. This is capitalizing the profits and socializing the debts. They do not get to profit off of the suffering of others without repercussions, that is supposed to be what free markets prevent. This crony capitalist economy we have today with an explicit caste system in place, just pushes their debts onto you and I.

Destroying the economy and job market is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. If people do not have purchasing power they can't afford the product. The whole thing is destined to collapse.

But that is exactly his point. By "collective responsibility" he is saying that it's the public's responsibility to regulate and tax AI companies as needed, vs expecting them to self regulate. This has been Anthropic's stance the whole time.
