I see this from everyone I know who works at Anthropic, they seem trapped in some sort of AI psychosis where AI is on the verge of ending the world.
Meanwhile, back in the real-world, most people I know use Chatgpt a few times a week for totally mundane shit and even more people never use AI at all.
And in my world, the latest frontier models still do moronic shit in the codebase all the time.
Meanwhile, my friend X at Anthropic tells me he fears that AI is going to have a terminator moment within the next year or two...
It's bizarre honestly.
It seems to be a strange variation of Pascal's wager to me: both arguments make an extraordinary claim while neutralizing any rational discussion about it, by appealing to infinitely extreme outcomes.
