It's not just Anthropic though. OpenAI does this with their AGI stuff all the time. They want normal people to think it is sentient, obviously, for marketing reasons, even if they know it's not true. And yes, it is dangerous, but I think we're well past the point where the damage can be undone. Non-technical people already equate humans with AI, literally, precisely because of how the labs market their tools and models. I feel if the bubble pops, it'll pop because normal people finally realize the grift and the actual technical limitations of LLMs in general, but by then, the IPO would be done, and then it's the public's problem. Just like social media played out, there's no way they didn't know what they were doing was dangerous to the public at large but does that matter to Meta today? Nah uh.

- nottorp 6d agoHeard of the boy who cried wolf? They have so many dangerous breakthroughs per year that by the time they actually have a breakthrough no one's going to even read the press release...
