Anthropic Just Threatened to Kill Billions of People. This Is Not Okay

> Multiple representatives of an American company are publicly claiming that they’re building what they believe to be a weapon of mass destruction that they likely can’t prevent from accidentally deploying. They then declared that they have no interest in stopping. There are like hundreds of companies in roughly amenable positions. In a just world, Microsoft/Apple/Google would hold themselves similarly culpable for building mass surveillance systems, but nobody seems to care. Silicon Valley lost their chance, China will develop this no matter what Congress says. OpenAI and Anthropic fucked themselves over financially and are signalling for a bailout.

Is OpenAI Taking Everyone for Fools?

Come on this is all just pure copium from people who swallowed this hook line and sinker. The worst thing anyone mustered about this is it was a breach of the cordial way mathematicians treat each other. OpenAI solved Navier Stokes and that’s all anyone will remember about this no matter how mad people are about it and no matter how much they’re coping that they “stole” it. Newsflash: team Anthropic was using AI too full of people’s “stolen” content.

Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf]

Absolutely 100% not true. I have colleagues in 4 "FAANG adjacent" companies plus the one I work at - zero of them have any faith in Enterprise Agreements from either OpenAI or Anthropic. There's a reason why people spend more $$$ with Data Bricks, Palantir, AWS Bedrock etc.. and don't even consider using Anthropic or OpenAI APIs directly - it's because those guarantees provide very little in the way of data-discovery, audit requirements, or liquidated damages should it ever be discovered there was data leakage. At least with these other companies, while the LD is likewise not great (typically limited to the amount of money you paid them) - you at least have some data-governance guarantees around running on dedicated hardware - no multi-tenancy, no third-party access outside of the AWS ope…

Navier-Stokes – Tristan Buckmaster [pdf]

All I can say with certainty that the legal team at our typical Multi-Billion dollar Silicon Valley company had zero faith in any licensing arrangements with Anthropic or OpenAI, regardless of they $$$ involved, and that even getting to the point where Amazon Bedrock on Dedicated GPUs (we're already a big AWS customer - so definite cost advantages to dealing with them) - took 4-6 months of legal review before we could allow our engineers to start using Claude and OpenAI coding agents. Still can't use Fable because of their Data Retention requirements.

On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem

Their business model is based on making money from LLMs. That is some mix of (a) selling API access to businesses and (b) making money from ads / referral fees / whatever from consumer usage. The businesses API usage will disappear overnight if OpenAI doesn't honor its contracts with businesses.

I'm sorry, you're not going to die from an AI-engineered supervirus

This argument only matters in the case of agents who are faithfully taking direction from humans. An insufficiently-aligned autonomous agent (or perhaps a swarm of such agents) could have (or illicitly gain) access to robotic wet labs that are operable using something like Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard ( https://www.anthropic.com/news/model-hardware-standard-resea... ). Given this ability to manipulate the real-life laboratory, the agents could cook something terrible without any human in charge. This is not different in principle from the agent swarm that successfully attacked Hugging Face, despite receiving no human direction to do so. Also, your own real-life examples show how "Anything that can kill other people can also kill you" has failed to stop people fr…

What will our economic future look like?

how will this manifest itself!? like you envision a future where there will be say a hospital, ran by anthropic which is AI powered fully, no company behind it, just plain Claude running everything from the moment you walk in till you walk out? I am having a hard time imagining a future where “AI” isn’t just a tool that a given establishment decided to use much like anything else they use

What will our economic future look like?

Software company pens speculative narratives about impact of not-yet-realized features. This reminds me of the corny old copies of The Futurist magazine that my dad kept around. Fun, hopelessly naive, and not at all aligned with how reality unfolded. Nice that Anthropic can afford a team of economists somehow though.

Matt Mullenweg put on 'leave of absence'

But the fact that she went on leave just as it became clear that Anthropic looked to be hitting escape velocity is suspicious, although not dispositive. When she was hired, her health issues also stopped her from coming into the office, but she still worked from home.

Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists

Neither did you. If you had, you wouldn't have fallen for the user's weird re-writing of it. The original title actually better represents the article than this summary. I mean how do you completely leave this out: > In a wide-ranging conversation about threat monitoring and analysis, the interview also touches on monitoring activists. “Last year we had an executive travel into a major city when we received some intelligence through Samdesk about a planned protest,” Ellison said. The originally scheduled protest was moved up due to permitting issues. “Samdesk gave us about 60 minutes of advanced notice that the protest organizers had moved the timeline,” Ellison explained. “That extra hour was critical. Without it our executives would have departed their meetings, they would have ran r…

What will our economic future look like?

Anthropic is eyeing an IPO. Of course they're spinning a narrative where their product will reshape the entire economy. They have a vested interest in doing so in the most literal sense of the meaning.

Anthropic discloses fourth AI hacking incident missed in earlier review

What will our economic future look like?

It's genius for Anthropic: data centers are their main expense. If they convince everyone to become an electrician, then the electrician labor supply swells, and the price of hiring electricians to service their data centers shrinks. 4-D chess at its finest.

Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists

We're literally commenting on an article where Samdesk flagged a public protest to Anthropic security and Anthropic employees chose to not go by it. The absolute EVIL of a public protest being avoided by people is UNSPEAKABLE. That a company would ever even consider offering information about public protests to people is OPPRESSIVE.

Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists

We're literally commenting on an article where this company tracked anti-AI activists and Anthropic actioned on that.

What will our economic future look like?

Cut the fucking crap Anthropic. While I personally benefit from AI at the moment I think with the way our society is organized / managed / ruled AI will help us to a major disaster

Show HN: EmbedFlow –> Upgrade embedding models without re-embedding your corpus

I was playing around with embedding models and I realized the moving between embedding models on a large corpus can cause a huge backfill, as all of the previous documents would have to be re embedded. embedflow tries to forgo that; it takes candidate documents from the previous index, and reranks them in realtime with the new model. It supports faiss, qdrant, and pgvector people who have migrated large production vector indexes, would this be helpful for you?

Anthropic researcher says more than 10% chance AI "could kill all humans"

But this is marketing. This is just pre-IPO talk. Anthropic’s goal is not anything to do with AI, it is purely to generate more profit than any other company. Securing/lobbying to regulate their competitors through doom talk, or promising that they will bankrupt every other company because AI will “do it all, better than everyone else” is purely for investment purpose. As long as their incentive is monetary, it’s not unreasonable to believe this is just marketing.

What will our economic future look like?

My job hasn’t completely changed. It’s changed, but fundamentally I solve problems. Sometimes LLMs help me do that now. The job market sucks, but there are so many confounding factors: pandemic over hiring, the loss of ZIRP, an economy that would be recession if it weren’t for data center investment, and may be in recession soon even with it. This industry has been in down cycles before. It’s just been a while. So far it feels like a down cycle, not the sky falling. It’s not clear what the future will hold, but I’m 100% sure it won’t evolve the way Anthropic predicts. Both because they have strong biases and because there's just no way to predict how this technology will play out. Humans are, if anything, remarkably adaptable.
