I wonder how many of these are false flag operations. Pushing for AI regulation, after the market has been captured by the 2 top dogs.
I.e. employees are choosing to quit their jobs to run a false flag operation?
Who else is going to compete? Everyone in this space already has gonzo capital, massive data centers, $1M salaries, etc.
This feels like a performance designed to launch this guys career in some "ai safety thinktank".
If he really did work there for the last 3 years doing what he said, he probably doesn't need a new career
Quitting Anthropic is the new dropping out of Stanford
yawn
Considering we cannot keep up with energy demands, and fuel costs are increasing drastically, while data centers are partially powered by diesel generator fleets, due to electrical infrastructure limitations. Are these companies even going to be alive in the next 5-10 years? So much of this is being floated by investor money, with customer revenue way below threshold.

The more the models dog food the internet, the wackier they will get, with the amount of slop being created at this point in time.

I don't understand why there are so many people that think this is fake / false flag / promotional. It's obvious that llm's can do crazy computations and might get to a point where they get them to recursively evolve. They are still algorithms, they still can't do stuff that humans do but they can get scary. My point is, it's normal that humans exposed to their current frontier picture llm's doing more crazy stuff.. why would it have to be fake?
