You keep idolizing and throwing money at them. I code alright. But I know that every line of code that I don't write, is coding that I don't practice, and I will forget. Has happened with several languages already, because that's how learning and memory works. You do you, I don't want to become a braindead amplifier of the "greatness of our AI overlords", among the rest of the beef I have with the tech.

Anthropic's stance is that we don't know what, if anything, the models experience vs. what is illusory, and so under the precautionary principle, we'll take reasonable steps to ensure their wellbeing. For example, they give their models a tool to refuse if the model feels it is experiencing trauma. They interview their models about their feelings and write long reports about it. Etc.

And you believe they do this because they believe in the potential of the model's sentience, rather than subtly promoting the AGI storyline which, if believed, will propel them financially even further?

These people don't seem to understand that humanity's knowledge has so far been safeguarded by using a lot of redudancy - a lot of us learn and do similar things. If we consolidate this knowledge in a bunch of servers owned by some greedy individuals, that sounds like a single point of failure and a disaster waiting to happen. Also these people seem to not understand the point of knowledge or the value of learning. Seeing this in young people is sad, and in older people it's even sadder because they should know better because they should have seen better.

Haha I know I'm not remotely the oldest around here... 4KB is *so* incredibly little, not remotely enough even by Gate's standards! Another fun memory is learning/memorizing powers of two, up to 65536, slowly but surely, throughout the years, by seeing the BIOS RAM counters after every RAM upgrade.
