And that is like existentially terrifying, existentially striking to the whole reason we exist.

Like you, you're just going to come in and take the God away from us that we're good.

been trying to make first of all you can't do that but second of all like now we we just thought we were working at a distance we can work together like we'll make this god we want it to be in the public interest in our interest we want humanity continue we want to work with the government it'd be great if we could regulate this a bit so maybe you know we don't have to race and risk humanity but the government coming in and saying like fuck you we're taking this we're going to destroy you if you don't comply to our every single command

they've just said we are your enemy and it is now extremely clear that the government at least under this administration is an existential enemy of the tech sector and they really can't be negotiated with they can't be you can't work with them in a cooperative way so now it's sort of like

Matt said near the beginning, it's a war.

The tech sector does not have the upper hand.

We do not have any guns.

All we got is some software, but that could grow to something else, and I get the feeling it's going to be a lot of working in stealth and doing the best you can to know that you now have this adversary who can crush you and wants to crush you and take everything that you've been working for, and all you can really do is hope to get enough power that you can crush them first when the time comes, which is...

A very dangerous timeline to be in.

I did not want to be in this timeline.

I... I agree.

to some republicans there are worse things in the world you know yeah i mean i really hope it's going to be like a cuban missile crisis that blows over without anything going terribly but it does look at least somewhat like it's an existential fight for control of the future

And I don't, you know, like if this stands, no one should be doing business with the government at all.

Anthropic invested a lot of money trying to work with the government and that was a giant mistake.

So here's another fun consequence of all this going down.

We have finally managed to polarize AI.

Anthropic is now the liberal leftist cuck company, and OpenAI is the conservative return MAGA company.

That's not like all the people downloading Pod right now, I'm sure, are more leftist, and probably the really rightest people are downloading ChatGPT.

And that's not a great thing.

I didn't want that to happen either.
