"“I resigned from Anthropic today… Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving
superintelligence and gambling with our lives. The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of
the decade. This is not a marketing stunt… many executives couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible, but I hear
the same people express fear privately.”
Jacob Coxen senior researcher at Anthropic, previously at OpenAI
“Jacob is correct here — we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally think it is >10% within the next
decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and
are not clearly on track to.”
This is such a wild take to be getting this many upvotes. If nothing happened in LLM development from this day forward they’d still be absurdly dangerous: both in an information security context and a social engineering context.
Lemmy is absolutely head in the sand about LLMs and it is wild. You can dislike LLMs and acknowledge their capabilities [and limitations] at the same time.
LLMs entering the world have revealed two very different types of crazies and I’m starting to think they’re everywhere. It’s quite tiring to have to constantly say “no they’re not useless” and “no they’re not super god” instead of engage with an actually interesting discussion.
I don’t really understand why lemmy thinks what it thinks on this one. To me it’s undeniable that it’s improving fast and it’s capable today of replacing a great many current job roles. Putting our heads in the sand isn’t going to make it go away.
Right, and regardless of sci-fi future potentials, there is a current reality and we’re in it and only have so much time to affect it’s evolution. All of these likely intelligent people completely ignoring reality isn’t helping define and construct the world we want tomorrow.
Thankfully it’s not so dangerous

I wouldn’t say that, the amount of vulnerabilities it’s discovering (and capable of exploiting) is frightening

You and I are the only ones apparently.
