Anthropic's War on open source AI

vb-8448

I don't know how much of current anthropic behaviour is because of the upcoming IPO but totally agree with the post: anthropic is uniquely dangerous. But I also doubt about OAI or other big players, maybe they don't have such strong delusions of grandeur, or they're simply smarter about not showing it to everyone.

I feel that more people would understand Anthropic's worldview if they read more of the public source material. Sure it is a cult, but it they have been relatively transparent with their views: https://darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-grace#basic...

Never before has a business sector need so desperately to be federally regulated. Their financial rigor falls somewhere between suspiciously lacking and outright fraud. The claims they make about the abilities of the software, whether real or imagined, argue for regulating it like a weapons exporter.

Jesus, being logged out on Twitter is a comically bad experience at this point. Can't view replies past the first one, click into anything, and now there's a big animated emoji pointing at a button? Miserable site, truly.

was this anti-claude polemic written by asking grok to pretend it is claude or did they just use claude?

I would genuinely like to hear from anyone who considers these 5000-word-plus AI-authored posts to be worthwhile, persuasive, and/or impressive.

ChatGPT, write a big angry blog post about Anthropic. FWIW I largely agree but boy is it hard to read.
