A major turnoff for me has been the American AI labs’ marketing
It’s either constant fear mongering (Anthropic), regulatory threats and corporate chicanery (OAI), low quality sloppification (xAI), or ‘ummm we have AI too guys’ (Gemini)
The worst culprit is Anthropic. Every two weeks he pops up on some random podcast with dire predictions of AI killing 50% of all jobs. It’s the constant “us our AI or else…” rhetoric that’s made the regular guy really hate AI
There is almost no positive sum outcome rhetoric from these labs
And I hate that
Dario's PR strategy is one of the most confusing things I've ever witnessed.
Most of the AI hate largely springs from Dario popping up everywhere with threats of mass unemployment
Like what am I supposed to do if AI is going to take my job?
> Like what am I supposed to do if AI is going to take my job?
(1) You call your local representatives to start working on AI legislation.
(2) Legislators seek advisors from frontier labs (specifically Anthropic) because there is a lack of in-house expertise in government.
(3) Advisors set up a regulatory body that scrutinizes new innovations in the AI space. Causes a chilling effect in the industry effectively knee-capping OAI and Chinese model providers who don't have a direct line into Washington.
(4) Profit (for Anthropic)
You're not the target audience of his attempts at advertising. Your employer is. So, to answer your question: Dario does not care.
