You really have to understand what's going on with all the scare mongering. If OpenAI or Anthropic really wanted to control AI better they could stop their IPO plans, they could stop development of the aspects of AI they are most concerned with...but they aren't and they haven't. It's full steam ahead.

There's a lot of motivation to ARTIFICIALLY inflate demand. Demand for their AI models, ironically to secure systems from their AI models...or at least be aware of the holes.

Also they (Anthropic & OpenAI) WANT AI regulation but more to stifle competition and to shape the regulation in ways that benefit them. It's not because of "oh our AI is so scary we may be stopped" I mean they are not stopping themselves.

There's also controlling the narrative. It's not that AI spend is out of control and the debt mountains are becoming an even greater risk it's more suitable for them to claim that "Oh look AI is out of control we need to
slow down - ever heard of companies wanting to launch their IPO also saying they should slow down? (Unless the IPO plans aren't going so well innit OpenAI?) - hint; it's not because ausr they are so concerned about security. Their AI hacking stuff is free publicity.

Also, more directly related to the article - security is still security. "Man breaks into door factory by breaking a door" isn't some kind of special achievement or concerning outcome.

Crime is still crime, even if it's easy. The real takeaway is that if these companies make such great security (AI) tools why is their security not better?

...and yeah they need better doors, cameras, monitoring etc. Why don't they have Senty bots like proper AI security companies? -That's right, they are not a security company. Just because you can make explosives doesn't make you an expert in defensive warfare...

Reading both sides, as well as OpenAI's announcement, it looks like, perhaps unexpectedly, OpenAI is morally right here IMHO. They heard rumours so they put their new model at work on all problems, then focused on two, one is different than those two researchers and the other is a different solution. I think the NYU researcher started too suspicious/paranoid which started the hostility, and the other side, which seemed to have been very accommodating at first lost patience. The Anthropic researcher did not even want to talk to them, I don't see how them saying that it would have been easier if he was not working at Anthropic, like he was proving it himself. In any case this is all silly academic bickering to me. Almost as silly as OpenAI's take that this is the start of AGI somehow...

PS. I have no horse in the race, I use various AI tools to help my work, Claude usually performs better than ChatGPT at the things I do, but I don't root for any company.

"We cannot be fair or stop engaging in anti-competitive practices without stressing the negatives and making sure people know it's always bad to regulate us."

"...the sun is now coming down from a period of heightened activity, which is also when some of the biggest storms to hit Earth have occurred in the past."

As opposed to the big events that happened in the future? Has somebody been time traveling and not telling us?

I'm thinking these are dealerships that are forced to carry EVs and have chargers by the manufacturers as part of their dealership agreement. So they jack up the rates, block the chargers, etc. to discourage use then tell the manufacturers "See? They don't sell and the charger isn't used so let us out of the EV requirement."

...but it will come after all the accountants lose their jobs because everyone will replace them with Excel.

But jokes aside I think the real coming jobs apocalypse is in the C-suite....because they can be replaced with dispassionate, delusional AI for a fraction of the cost.

AI that doesn't sleepy. Doesn't bitch about the bonus structure. Doesn't discriminate based on liking someone's face and doesn't try to sleaze their way into the hot office chick's skirt.

Maybe we should all start companies ruled by workers that take *advice* from AI as a tool rather than tolerate dictatorship from a bunch of predictable corporate assholes?

..mthebissue with being a store of value is that even if it's so in principle it also needs to be secure in fact. Don't hear a lot of stories about million in gold being stolen...

... because I thought I'd be some kind of grumpy old man surrounded by young people that didn't get me.

Now I am relieved to know that I will be a grumpy old man surrounded by grumpy old people that don't get me.

...then it's unfair. Oh no China subsidised it's auto industry and now we can buy cheap cars. So unfair because other cars are expensive...

Well maybe spend less on CEO bonuses and stock buybacks and make cheaper cars. Get your government to help subsidise your industry - but wait a moment they already do that in other sectors so slap some tariffs and ban competition. Like true capitalists.

I mean lost of kids finish school at the same time...

Can I do a mission to earn a reward pack that might unlock instrumentation views or is it only available by loading up my Hyundai roulette account?

I am excited for side quests to earn skins.

...and to get close to AGI we have to use as much resources as an entire country in power and compute.

Soon you'll be able to spend £200,000 a month to send email CLOSE to human intelligence.

This is my beef with AI companies it's all great and interesting BUT how much does it really cost? How soon will the cost actually make replacing basic functions performed by people be economically sustainable?

I'm asking because in the 80s they said robots will replace humans from anything like flipping burgers to the battlefield...and we're just staring to get there.

I suspect that if people really knew the costs and how long the wait will be to make those sustainable the entire AI bubble will pop...how is the massive amounts of capital flowing into OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft and Amazon etc going to improve the lives of every day people?

Their best case scenario is that the magic money tree doesn't run out before AGI is affordable and replaces the jobs people need to earn in order to spend on anything. That's deflationary. Best case scenario?!

But hey Astra seems nice but doesn't deliver to the hype and reels of OpenAI desperation. Ask it about data centres in orbit and the SpaceX deal...(Too soon?)

"No good outcomes" pffft. The UK is finally getting decent summers!

That team is probably shitting their pants over this exact kind of thing.

Everyone is a coder is striking the same fears that BYOD used to but now it's even scarier...because it's new and there a known unknowns etc.

I'm sure that after a few large breaches and data deletions they'll figure out a way to make this sort of "Oh look I can create my own enterprise app" exercises safe in the future...

Meanwhile, wanna come see this new baking app I chat prompted AI to make for the finance team?!

You know how you give people the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith?

That's exactly how he advances all aspects of his self-absorbed, malignant agenda.

All the evidence of what he actually did and what actions he and his organisation have taken show they never negotiate in good faith and Trump only cares about Trump and to hell with anyone else.

When does it become a national emergency to ban anything and anyone that doesn't pay homage or donate to Trump?
