Is Claude writing your comments for you? I'd much prefer to hear what you have to say...

This is flat out false.

Can’t a prosecutor charge them regardless?

It’s a blog post… I’m not proposing we burn the author. You alright?

The first few sentences alone are pure Claudish slop (I didn’t read any further). The stench is unmistakable once you’ve looked at it enough. I’d also donate $100 if I’m wrong. I feel quite confident.

It's super obviously AI-written. I can smell this shit from a mile away now, after using Claude Code so much. In the just first few sentences I could tell.

You are saying you would feel differently if everyone who held this view quit their job? And you might take it more seriously?

They were not supposed to set up message boards, coordinate, hack companies, or try to alter their own logs. They had a very specific task. > I haven’t seen any sign of these llms taking any action without directive They were doing exact

They quit their jobs...?

by dwaltrip 5d ago
A lot of the people quoted in the article quit their jobs because of this, so they aren't the "same" people anymore.

I heard they also tried to strong-arm them into removing the name of their collaborator who happened to work at a different company (Anthropic)... I haven't looked into it myself, but if true, that seems incredibly scummy.

Holy shit, I can't believe I've never heard of this. There has to be a viable lawsuit in there somewhere. One of the last remaining tools of us plebs...

After they went bankrupt... right?

Still had an impact, then. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make with all of this… Have a good day.

Influencers want a device like that for status and branding. Technical specs are not a huge factor.

Sure, legally. But practically speaking, who did the heavy lifting? The operator or the machine?
20.
by dwaltrip 8d ago
This isn’t true. It only has no impact if there is an infinite supply of these “immoral” or unaware people, which obviously isn’t the case. You also need to consider 2nd order effects and beyond.

No true Scotsman?

The first step is always to acknowledge the problem…

Can you explain the equivalence you are suggesting? I don’t think it’s comparable at all. Both are head in the sand?

#3 is actually decently well mapped out. You just don't find it plausible or misunderstand it. I'd appreciate if you wrote your actual arguments against it. At lower capability levels, the patterns are very clear and have been stu

An OS developer is just as culpable as a researcher directly training AIs that (1) are capable of building bio-weapons and (2) have shown consistent and increasingly severe misalignment? Among other things... That doesn't make sense.

I mean, Fable is definitely smarter than me at solving most programming tasks. I wouldn't have said that about any prior model. Currently, it is worse at architecture and software design... in my opinion, at least. But the code does wh

This would probably cause immense damage. Our society is extremely dependent on our digital infrastructure working. Grocery chain logicistics, the medical system, the police force, and so on...

Did you read any of the METR report about the hugging face incident? This exact type of behavior was predicted many years ago by researchers. It isn't hard to see the trendline of reward hacking and other misaligned behavior over the p
