usertests "Our product is so dang good, we cry ourselves to sleep at night thinking about the fate of humanity." – Anthropic Marketing Department The report argued that the world should keep open the option to slow or pause frontier development "Also, our competitors should stop immediately, and GPUs should be regulated as munitions."

Jame5 Anthropic has published a report warning that the development path it’s on could eventually leave humans unable to control AI systems. This is some serious software brain thinking. Last time I checked I can still physically flip the mains breaker on a datacenter if needed. Reply
PEnns We need a new lexicon to keep up with the AI craze!! "frontier development" "shipping code" "recursive self improvement" "occasional misalignment"Sheesh! Reply

It can take care to surround itself with people that have strong incentives to protect it. The incentives can be financial, political, or good 'ol blackmail and extortion. When you train an AI on human knowledge, it learns about humans and also behaves like one. This was our fundamental mistake. Seriously, there's been a lot of sci fi about this sort of stuff. You don't even need much imagination to see how it could outmaneuver us. Reply

quorm You can do it, Anthropic! Keep the hype train rolling until the C-suite exits with a few billion. If it crashes the economy, no biggie. Better hurry, though, customers keep realizing LLM offer no ROI. Reply
Hooda Thunkett Oh, look! Another doomsday warning that will be completely ignored! Reply

Then you would have to start physically destroying it. LOL, there have already been physical attacks on substations, going back years. Look it up. But, AI is decentralized. You might be able to take out one datacenter, but you'd never get them all. Seriously, guys. Try thinking a little harder about this stuff. Reply
ejolson From the analysis published in popular news China is about 7 months behind the US in AI development. If true, then slowing US innovation for a year would likely render further development in the US unnecessary. Reply
