Yes, this makes a lot of sense, but it’s just very amusing to see. 2 months ago, the world was about to end, now not so much.

7+ years ago GPT2 couldn’t be released because it was deemed too dangerous[0]. It was, of course, eventually released.

    > We can also imagine the application of these models for malicious purposes , including the following (or other applications we can’t yet anticipate):

      *   Generate misleading news articles

  *   Impersonate others online

  *   Automate the production of abusive or faked content to post on social media

  *   Automate the production of spam/phishing content

    Seems like the prediction was pretty accurate.

    Dario Amodei is one of the authors of the paper. He used the same marketing tactic with Anthropic, and got flagged by US Gov.

I realized it a why back these labs are selling hype.

since then I have never cared about models except those that affect money in my pocket e.g AWS Nova Sonic

Have you been patching your systems for the past two months? It was crazy even if you completely forget the supply chain literal FUBARs and you must’ve been living under a rock to not see OpenAI (accidentally) pwning hugging face

Do you have an example of the "doomsday marketing" you're referring to?

feels almost like anthropic is desperate for ipo huh

i think we'll see one of the fastest deflations in history post anthropic/oai ipo

    could you elaborate please?

      both companies have large spending commitments while their margins will be continuously wiped by open models / router-like solutions. both companies are rushing for ipo and doing an awful lot of financial engineering to look good (highly recommend ed zitrons analysis on anthropic profitability) before their margins are eroded that much.
