@ibx1112599 @alistairmcleay That is an insightful analysis!

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@sc_cath The professor requests more regulation, and less innovation and risk. What a hot take!

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@intellectronica Roughly 43 million Americans get their water from a private well. Kinda popular?

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@giadotai Because Anthropic generally loves tracking of all types. Just two days ago they also proudly announced this: Claude will now silently analyze & report on every turn of every conversation to ensure it's not "bad".

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@maulligan @alistairmcleay Good take! You can't piss off developers, though, who are consumers firstly, and secondarily have jobs.

@deepestmoney93 @alistairmcleay Brother the only thing they’ll respond to is market losses. Sacrifices must be made.

@Kaleido13090243 @AnthropicAI Are you scared of text from a machine? Text is not illegal or immoral- there is no victim. Stop the criminal acts.

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@WolframRvnwlf Some of those tool choices are going to include contact_police, submit_to_irs, convene_safety_comittee

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@darcyagi I would posit it’s becoming far less helpful, the more they restrict what you can do with it. They treat their customers like criminals as a baseline.

[Kevin @KevinAI]

This sums up my thoughts exactly! Way to go, @ErikVoorhees !

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

Text messages with a machine, in and of themselves, are not criminal, immoral, or dangerous, for there is no victim, whatever the content. It is the very same thing as with thoughts—regardless of the content, no thought can be said to create a victim.

• If someone steals info and feeds it into an LLM, it was the theft itself which created the victim, not the subsequent text message.

• If someone uses the output of an LLM to hack a system, it is that subsequent hack which creates the victim, not the text message preceding it.

• If someone threatens harm to themselves or others through messages into a machine, here still the messages themselves cannot be said to have created any victim.

Imagining otherwise inappropriately reorients blame from its rightful place: the action of harm actually done by a perpetrator. Thinking harm =/= harm.

As humans integrate AI as an extension of their mind, policing at the message layer means to increasingly police thought itself.

Which company, which committee, do you trust to police your thoughts? Or do you simply want the thoughts of others policed, and not your own?

@shekar4x @Danmar_here @OpenAI Cool! Well I cancelled my subscription after years and switched to @AskVenice for real privacy.

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@addyosmani @chasmmmmmmmmmmm Just poorly thought out, poorly tested, and only negative experiences will come from this. Also did I miss the announcement, or discussion? How does one appeal? People have tried “no exceptions”.

Your moral superiority complex will be your undoing.

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@shekar4x @Danmar_here @OpenAI It seems like users would be much easier than enterprises to solve?

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@transkatgirl Love it, agree 100%

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@meta_alchemist I’m glad you agree with this one rule they implemented silently and without recourse. I hope you agree with them all in the future!

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@DaveShapi Anthropic is how dystopia truly arrives - not via governmental issues.

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@Lagarde @ecb Those Paris riots must have been tough!

[Kevin @KevinAI]

@AndreasSteno Because they are a cult, they worship and fear their creations.
