"Only I can save us". It's a classic tragedy and cautionary tale.

The idea Anthropic was going to speed run AI so they could control the usage and make it "safe" for humanity was never altruistic; it was a HUGE FUCKING RED FLAG.

Benevolent dictators work.

But, looking to a US corp to be one?

That’s daft.

[hungryhobbit]

They do, but only for specific definitions of "work". Like, benevolent dictators in Cuba 100% raised the literacy rate by an insane amount in just a few years (something like 20% => 80%").

If you define work as "literacy", they no doubt succeeded. But if you consider the people (and children) they tortured, raped, and murdered, suddenly literacy doesn't seem so important.

I meant in the context of a software project, for example.

You're right, they should just not even try and turn off all safeguards on frontier AI. What could possibly go wrong? It's not like a bunch of companies and nonprofits have said the model finds zero days at the press of a button!

[gmanley]

Correct, they should. If there are zero days out there, then they should be able to be found by everybody, instead of only being found by the select elite that this model is available to. Though, I very much question the truth of said ability.

[thewebguyd]

And? Now all the zero days, if thats true, get discovered and patched instead of being exclusively hoarded by the select few governments and Israeli spyware companies.

Sounds like a great thing to me.
