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.
Dario Amade, you have spent years threatening people's livelihoods, suggesting that AI would wipe out fifty percent of white-collar jobs.
And when one of your nasty little rationalist goblins quits your company and scares everybody, you've doubled down, saying that for too long the industry lied about AI's risks.
Without saying what they were, just that progress is fast and we've hit an exponential.
Shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
You build cloud software.
Software, you're in full control of what gets built or not.
Just because you don't fully understand how LLMs make their decisions doesn't mean they're out of control or have their own intentions.
And your unwillingness to explain the difference and further fuel anthropomorphism only makes me more certain that you need to shut your fucking mouth.
