Haha, no. Humans' collars are already here, we just keep them in our pockets and pay for them ourselves.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a company that doesn't hide things. The difference between Anthropic and (insert company here) is only that Anthropic leaked their source code, so now we can see what they kept hidden.

Just because someone does a bad thing with a tool, then turns around and says he didn't do it... well that's not a good reason to believe them. In the real world, we call these people criminals and hunt them down, we don't say "oh, the tool messed up, could have happened to anybody."

Here's your answer.

No, this one.

That's not what Anthropic promised their shareholders. If that was all Claude is supposed to be, nobody would be giving them that much money in the first place.

The problem with all these arguments is that they beg the question: They assume that AI is some kind of sentient technology with personal and unpredictable goals that are inevitably in opposition to humanity's goals. They then argue that humanity is controllable because it cannot fight a super intelligent sentient technology with personal and unpredictable goals. It's a classic logical fallacy.

There can be no co-operation without some measure of trust. It's a collective balancing act which is not purely technical. AI mimicry enables new kinds of social engineering attacks that have never been possible before. The onus should not be purely on the software architecture, IMHO.

Agreed! I used to RUN a 4KB BASIC interpreter in my T-16 back home!

I'm nit optomistic that thonking thos fast is a giid odea!

I think here "open" means "not limited to internally-generated apps." Yes there are rules and guidelines that have to be met in order to publish an app to the App Store, but any developer can get published.

Whether you agree or disagree with those guidelines is a different question.

My Emacs only needs 8Mb! (but it's constantly swapping)

Those issues are not new. What *is* new is that AI mimicry has lowered the bar for attacks substantially.

Just creepy crawlies looking for their 5 minutes in the spotlight while the audience is ooh-ing and aah-ing the destruction and opening their wallets to buy trinkets.

Them's there alternative facts meester! I gots plenty! It's see-ent-tuffic, y'see!
