How is the world better off now than it was before this war started?
Seeing regional states like Lebanon and Iraq assert themselves against Iranian terror groups and the possibility of freedom for Iranians themselves.
Amodei and others are worried about what AI that doesn't yet exist may do, not about what current-generation AI can do. AI is getting better, very quickly, and unless there's some blocking obstacle that no one has been able to identify will at some point become far, far smarter than humans, individually or collectively. So before that happens, we need to figure out how to make sure that superintelligent AI wants to help us, and wants to do it in the right way.
AI already helps us to surveil masses of humans, automate judgement of humans, trick and spam humans, automate crimes against humans and ultimately render humans obsolete. A more powerful AI would only serve to assist in doing all of these things more effectively.
I have no reason to doubt authoritarian dictatorships and corporations the world over will perfect the art of making sure super-intelligent AI wants to help in all the right ways.
Years ago around ChatGPT 4 release there was this notion being peddled the AI firms would have to be extra careful to vigilantly guard against escape of super intelligent AI. What was funny about this at the same time we all had a front row seat to OpenAI corrupting itself from within not due to the influence of some advanced superintelligence but merely the simple greed of a self absorbed sociopath.
What Amodei and others are worried about is the pending IPO.

People ranted about the Epstein files during the Biden administration, now politically opposite people are ranting about the Epstein files during the trump administration.
False. People on both sides ranted about the Epstein files during the Biden administration, now maggots have gotten suspiciously quiet, even the ones who haven't obviously suffered massive brain damage and have to be wheeled around making taxidermy turtle faces.
Apologies: I have no idea where 333312 came from.
I just hope it didn't cost you any tokens.
The Biden administration had complete power and control over releasing the Epstein files on their watch.
He was busy that day helping Ms. Sanchez pick the right size for her new bigger boobs.
The high cost of fuel is creating higher demand for electric vehicles.
Which may be the one thing about this whole situation that cheeses Donald Trump off the most...
Thanks for the explanation of the characters. It still doesn't parse into English.
What part of "Benchmarks from the bug report show up to 20x less memory used during very large image loading" isn't a perfectly functional English sentence to you?
While I agree with your assessment of them, users aren't always the best arbiter of what they want in a product. Ask virtually all users, and they'll say stop changing anything. But while I can't speak for mobile, I have no idea why you think you need Brave / UO to stop ads on Slashdot. I'm only using Ublock lite and I've yet to see a Slashdot advert.
Sure, Amodei is calling for slower AI development. He's also plunging head-first into a potential $2 trillion IPO. A slowdown of any magnitude compared to many competitors that are going full-steam ahead might impact the IPO. Guess which motivation is going to win out? Sure, Amodei is saying all the right PR stuff right now, but is Anthropic AI development actually slowing down? Amodei could have announced that Anthropic is unilaterally slowing down AI development, but he didn't and won't. He's just trying to attract the PR while cashing in on the IPO.
These AI glasses do have practical uses, and in some cases, life-changing uses, like for blind people. The estimates of the number of blind people using AI glasses are in the tens of thousands. Unfortunately, the abuses, including perverted uses, are too numerous. The privacy invasions are arguably not even the biggest problem. The bigger problem is that the good uses will be killed by the abuses.
You'll notice we "liberated" Venezuela's oil reserves for absolutely no goddamned reason, shortly before we started a war with Iran for absolutely no goddamned reason.
Unfortunately, the reason for Trump doing what he did was simply that he could. He had the power to do something that no one else in the world could do, so he did it to show that he could do something that no one else could do. The great irony is that Trump is consumed with his appearance and yet his actions make him look bad. The only reason he doesn't recognize the obviousness of the badness is that he has surrounded himself with yes-men and carpetbaggers that inflate his already enormous lack of awareness.
It won't help in any way because the pictures are sent home for more processing.
Casks leak. There is a whole industry around dealing with it. Deal with it.
We are Microsoft. Unix is irrelevant. Openness is futile. Prepare to be assimilated.
