Anthropic wants your thoughts on AI

pluc

Don't they uh pay people for that?

In the wise words of Paulie: "Fuck you. Pay me."

I just ordered a couple hundred "stop the slop" stickers to stick onto obviously AI generated posters, ads etc in public, I doubt anthropic is genuinely interested in my opinion

Can't they just use AI to generate those answers? Why do they still need humans for this? Surely AI is advanced enough to not need human input anymore. We have AGI as promised right?

I got the pop-up and had a little read and it's framed as an "Interview", presumably by some AI interviewer they've set up, and I immediately realised they're probably aiming for a two-fer, test out their AI interview thing, and slurp up ideas from users. I draw the line at paying them for the "service" they're "providing".

"Log in to continue": Misanthropic only wants the voices of cult members. Later, they'll claim that they ran a representative survey.

How about this thought: stop baking humanization into your training set.

Associate your advertising profile across the web with opinions about ai, check. Gain ammo for regulatory capture from anti-ai sentiment, check. Market research from pro ai people, check. A bunch of new signups to fuel user numbers, check. Advertising for their new survey product, check. A bunch of new stolen training data, check. Me participating in this scam? Uncheck.

Here's my answer: Quit incinerating billions of dollars that you'll never be able to make back. You're gonna put us in the Great Depression 2.0.

They can pay me for that, handsomely. I'm not doin their homework for free

I started this thinking it was going to be an actual interesting interview process, but it felt like a typeform page once it get going. Had it been a typeform page I might have completed, but framing it as an interview annoyed me for some reason and I quit after the 4th question.

This just feels like an ad for Anthropic Interviewer.

I answered this last night, though, I wanted to share a lot more with them, but I don't like giving ideas for free. There's so many things these companies can be doing that I keep to myself but I'm mostly convinced a lot of them need to take a step back and rethink LLMs, LLM design, etc because it looks to me like we're all stuck forcing ourselves to use an insane amount of compute, with an insane amount of data, but the small models have shown to be capable of reasonable reasoning on way less resources and data. Heck, the distilled or quantized version of the only open model OpenAI ever released is insanely good. I don't know all the answers, but I think we're seeing the "ceiling" of where LLMs can go, and we're trying to force them to go further in the hops of achieving AGI somehow, but AGI in my eyes is not going to work with the current design for LLMs unless they're actually building AGI completely differently similar to what I assume it could / should look like, then I'll give them that, but none of them have shown any signs of true AGI. Sure an LLM can be impressive in terms of speed of outright (and correctness now!) but its not AGI. AGI isn't a buzzword you change, it was defined before Sam Altman and Dario tried to redefine and water it down for IPO gout.

AI needs to be open weights at a minimum, but ideally open source. I'm not terribly worried as it is strictly inevitable. But having these companies steal work from humanity and use it to train their models while attempting a hostile takeover of the economy is morally bankrupt. I lose a lot of respect for anyone going to work for these labs.

I don't trust Anthropic management to be "aligned" with their users so I certainly don't trust them to be asking in good faith.

I want it to go away, forever. You're welcome Anthropic, now pay up.

simonw

Surprising number of comments in here complaining about a company asking their users for ideas, when that's pretty much the first piece of business advice any startup will get. Talk to your users!

froh

it doesn't want mine, on a fresh free tier account.

I feel like this survey should be incentivized or compensated. It’s presumptive that people care enough to give feedback.

frumplestlatz

I’d prefer that Anthropic and the EA cult types have less thoughts about AI.
