Hello and welcome to this week's Better Offline monologue.
I'm your host Ev Zitrom.
I wanted to do a more reasonable monologue, one where I carefully pick apart the AI safety debate, skewering the fact that nobody seems to actually be talking about making things safer or curtailing the actual harms of LLMs, but I reached the point where the only thing I wanted to say was that Dario Amade, CEO of Anthropic Nista, shut the fuck up.
