    what they are really saying, especially with the “slow down china bad” rhetoric is just temporally advanced from stuff Adam Smith wrote about, long ago: they cannot keep up and are crying to the powers so shareholders are protected

    BUUUUULLLLSHIT. He just doesn’t want to answer honestly to shareholders. The product is a scammy money pit propped up by tissue paper and the confoolery of our liar and chief.

    I hear a lot about AI safety. What, precisely, is unsafe about AI that is unique to AI?

        I almost believe it’s related. It sounds like the left are up in arms over AI not because of safety but because of money. If they would be more specific about safety, maybe people would listen.

          safety is a red herring. capitalism is always going to eschew safety in the name of profit, no matter the industry. there is no difference here with ai. just assume the corps to be unsafe with it.

          the problem is actually that the corps want the world to “slow down” so they can catch up; “for safety” is just marketing.

      From a technical point of view? It’s just software. If you give a software with semi-random outputs access to control external tools, it will do semi-random stuff and could cause harm. And since the people that loves these little runner also likes to run hundreds of them concurrently, with the ability to spawn more, they can cause harm real fast with no oversight.

      If you don’t give them uncontrolled access to anything though? Not much harm in that. But it’s harder to sell the “this is the future of everything” if you put pesky things like checks and limited capabilities for the sake of safety.

      So, nothing unique to AI, except the scale of it.

    Don’t worry, it’s DEFINITELY not because they would need to disclose their finances to investors. Just keep pouring money in and everything will turn out fine!

      Financial Times reported that Anthropic is telling investors “gross margins are above 80% before revenue it shares with distribution partners and before the cost of training models.”

      This is like saying, “I got $500 at the casino, but don’t ask me how much I spent on the slot machines”. All the AI corpos are in the same boat, so this “fear of danger” is likely a smokescreen for, “we’re hemorrhaging cash”.

      No one will ever go to prison, so the scam works. Extract as much money as they can while destroying the world.

    They can’t go public.

    I bet they end up merging or being bought long before they’re actually ready to go public.

    Hahaha, AI hype has already reached and past its peak, the best time to do an ipo for them is today, second best time would be tomorrow.

    Sure it might be here to stay, but the gold rush FOMO phase is over.

    The guy goes fuzzball on telling everyday AI is going to kill us all, then “well I can’t IPO, people are afraid”?

    Well, guess what my little boy, what did you expect?

    Sam, we don’t believe you, you make no sense at all, you liar piece of shit.

    Hilarious… I guess this pushes back the inevitable bubble collapse (probably until just after they do go public)

    what i heard was that ai companies now push for regulation to legitimize themselves in front of the law. that saves ai companies from the state being like “yea the party’s up we stop this and crack down on it”

    same happened to bitcoin.

    but idk shit :)

      I am waiting to see how and when anthropic IPOs, because I think that is l the more important comparison. OpenAI is caught between a rock and a hard place, because they want to go public for exit liquidity, but anthropic will always be a direct comparison. And if the financials aren’t in their favor, then they won’t get the valuation they desire as the second best.
