worth remembering hacker news cannot “realize” things.
Obvious shorthand for referring to "the majority of users on HackerNews."
How do you know what the majority of HN thinks?

nobody has doubted that safety matters.
the problem is that those preaching safety, openai and anthropic, are dishonest, sociopathic, and the very source of the danger.

Source?
yes, they are the source of the danger. they are the cause of this incident.
OpenAI and Anthropic have published a lot on the need for AI alignment + the research they're doing to ensure alignment/safety, yet they are also responsible for the highest profile misalignment incidents so far (HuggingFace incident, AISI Mythos social engineering, and now this).
One interpretation of this is that they are being deliberately dishonest about their priorities. Another interpretation is that we cannot rely on the labs to self-regulate, because the labs don't trust each other, and there will always be pressure to go to market faster than their competitor.
Either way I think it's pretty non-controversial that the labs are the source of the danger?
