Does that mean we can charge the investors with attempted mass murder?
Whomever is left can try.
It is so bizarre to me that the idea of AI being something that will end the human race is now an integral part of these guy’s marketing strategies.
As a human myself, I wouldn’t wanna invest in something that’s meant to destroy humans but to each their own.
It is part of the grift. Anthropic and OpenAI want to go public and a huge part of their cash burn is compute expense for training new models. (In public filings they claim they are profitable … if you look at their numbers that’s only if you remove their biggest expense which is model training) At the same time they are seeing fewer gains with new frontier models. Some are also claiming the new models aren’t as good as the ones from a year ago and you are loosing your market advantage with frontier models?
What do you do if your largest expense is generating fewer gains and you want to go public? Get the government to regulate it and build a regulatory mote around your industry and freeze your advantage over your competitors while you have it. Cut that expense and go public as a profitable company!
At this point I only want to see regulations well after the AI bubble pops. Don’t take any government stakes in these AI companies as Bernie has argued for (I agree with his stances on most economic matters but he’s off base with this). Let these AI companies burn in the free market they advocate for soo much.
we warned ya - don’t sue us!
I wish the press would get into the habit of interpreting ‘rogue agent’ as ‘we can’t sandbox our potential malware for toffee’.
At this point, the human extinction is an enthusiastically advertised feature and not a bug.
