More doomerism. Try to implement a deterministic workflow using agents with the latest models and no humans-in-the-loop, and you will realize what they are really capable of. There is too much unnecessary fear-mongering. All of this is only coming from the 2 AI labs trying to IPO. Not from anyone else.
Exactly correct, they are only capable of tasks that any school child could do; like solving millenium prize problems, hacking into tech companies, or tuning particle colliders. Nothing to see here.
There are humans behind all of these actions. We're just not holding them responsible for some reason re: hacking into tech companies.

He has resigned from Anthropic. Is your argument that he quit Anthropic pre-IPO, sacrificing his payoff just to hype Anthropic?
Why would he sacrifice his pay-off? He is likely around 80% vested after 3 years.
He did reduce his tax liability though.
Wait till you find out they have a very limited context window (and also degrade even within the allowed context window) and they are practically unpractical for anything that requires "zooming out" which is pretty much anything that has any real value.
But you are getting downvoted and this space has now trillions (that's not a mistake) on the line. So we have to keep pumping this garbage generator up until either the stocks are dumped on the general public, the public pension funds or a bailout from the government.
Truly idiotic moments. Peak of Western civilization point.
Shows that no one is immune from the marketing BS of these companies.
You need to start considering the possibility you are mistaken.
high on their own supply
for sure, they internally are maximally AI-pilled (or AI psychosis, whatever you prefer)
Do you remember that Google researcher who went insane over LaMDA? There was no marketing of any kind to cause that. This can Just Happen to some people who are confronted with things like this. They may have different breaking points, but it's a thing that occasionally happens.
The craziest part was that Google was pretty far behind other LLMs in development. Even the initial release of Gemini was one of the worst foundation models ever open to the public. I can't imagine how anyone could have communicated to it and thought it was sentient.
That was Blake Lemoine. For the record: he doesn't appear to have been ruled insane by anyone, and he wasn't even fired over that part exactly!

whistleblowing as an advertisement. It's like those "news articles" about how cool and dangerous gas station ketamine is, and how it's totally going to get banned, and you better not buy any gas station k because it's so cool and powerful.
