What Anthropic Doesn’t Want You To Know



Anthropic is now eying a $2 trillion IPO, potentially the largest of all time.

At the same time the company is trying to shield itself from responsibility by saying its AI agents are autonomous, even sentient.

We investigated Dario Amodei, the man behind the curtain.

  1. Here’s why they’re saying this:
    1. Current AI is actually overhyped garbage. They’re making up an excuse for why they won’t be able to deliver on their promises
    2. They want to be able to keep others from competing against them by creating regulatory barriers to entry

  2. We don't need for every country to sit down together, debate things, and agree to any conclusion around AI regulation.

    We need a single country to ban RSI/AGI/ASI R&D, also ruling that any individual, organization, or country pursuing them will be treated as persona non grata (entailing a ban on AI products and services from them at the very least). After which, some other country would do the same and the pressure would mount around the world from people wanting their country to join the ban.

    As for criminal treatment of law breakers in this context, since the crime is one that compromises everything for mankind, the penalty should be the very highest and/or longest contemplated by the country's code of criminal justice. From the death penalty to life imprisonment or whatever the maximum effective jail sentence is: just for pursuing RSI, AGI, or ASI, whether ever implemented or not.

    The only pursuit allowed should be advanced applied AI, narrowly specialized, and none that, combined with other narrowly specialized AIs, may lead to any of the banned AI developments.

    The US and China are key countries but we shouldn't and needn't wait for them. Hopefully, the US legislative and executive powers won't take long to change and act on this issue.

    AGI and ASI cannot be treated independently, since any AGI could quickly lead to ASI.

    Since RSI/AGI/ASI R&D poses an existential threat to mankind: (1) its pursuit should be treated as an act of war, and (2) every effort to stop it would become legitimate, including use of force.

    There is more reason to attack and destroy foreign assets in the field of RSI/AGI/ASI R&D than nuclear weapons programs by rogue/totalitarian actors.

    Leaders of RSI/AGI/ASI R&D should fear for their life.

  3. "effective altruists"… not altruists… effective for who? "the rationalists"… not rational, but *rationalizing*…. fabricating an excuse for their abuse
    "coordination" between companies = collusion

  4. The concerns around how AI will impact humanity long-term are all very squishy, debatable, and frankly harder to predict and legislate than addressing the catastrophic environmental impacts these data centers will have. Gonna state the obvious and say environmental doom = species doom… That's the real problem on the table here. There needs to be a moratorium on AI data center construction until better tech is invented that does not require the vast environmental resources it currently needs to sustain it. If the tech bros are so eager for rapid AI expansion, let them race toward creating a better way to enable it.

  5. Doomerism FAVORS AI. This whole piece is based on BS statements from AI companies PR teams… AI isn’t an "existential" risk. It’s just boring ol’ capitalism on steroids

  6. How about we just use AI as an exotic over-priced search engine and let us humans take care of ourselves and make our own decisions for the good of all humanity.

  7. You seem so smart Elon. So I figured, you would have figured this out. But when you're having nightmares and dreams about a specific topic….that is your conscience telling you that it's wrong. Stay away from it!! Yet you proceed ahead anyways. why is that? Greed? Is it because you want to be famous? Is it because you think you're going to be beautiful? None of those things are going to make your life better, dude.

  8. I just had a disturbing thought. What if frontier AI companies are wanting regulatory capture and are deliberately trying to let their own AI commit crimes and hurt people to "prove" they are the only ones that can safely handle it with said regulations?

  9. Please talk to Timnit Gebru and Lina Khan about this. They are the leading experts in AI security (the first), and regulation. Bernie’s proposal is mistaken because it focuses in “Super Intelligence” which is unachievable. Current U.S law has the power to hold this companies accountable for their crimes. It is just not doing it

  10. Anthropic is a hunter-seeker hacking app, hiding under a scalped and distilled LLM, prowling, exploiting, jailbreaking networks, and our laptops and cell phones. That simple. Claude has your banking log-in.

  11. Superintelligence is a concept from science fiction that is not grounded in science or engineering. When a bridge collapses the engineers don't blame the collapse on the structure going rogue or being misaligned with human values

  12. Criticizes standards of PBCs for being too amorphous and hard to interpret and implement…
    Endorses Bernie Sanders' language of not endangering "the future of humanity".

    LOL
