👋 Hello Dario my old friend!

#ai #claude #anthropic #trump #technology #whitehouse #politics

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@HankYeomans I agree with you so much. I feel it in my heart (for the last 20 years)

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@NetworkBrouhaha I feel like all I have is common sense anymore 🤷‍♂️

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

💡 Will @AnthropicAI #claude destroy humanity by the end of the decade?

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@virtualized6ix How did that make you feel?

We Must Pace the Frontier

@DarioAmodei can't be taken seriously anymore.

[Dario Amodei @DarioAmodei]

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

Hardcore agree on this 👌

[sudox @kmcnam1]

Oh, I guess RAM and GPU price increases are just imaginary because AI models can just replicate themselves and run on anything.

But hey... this guy will get what he wants. He'll scare the shit out of politicians and non-technical people into thinking that AI is just going to self-replicate and take over the world, to the point where they make some really fucking dumb policy decisions.

That is a ton of 0s 😜

JUST IN: Anthropic is reportedly expected to tell investors its total addressable market exceeds $30,000,000,000,000.00.

Spot on 🎯

I've since made the Claude Code exist dance and couldn't be happier with my decision. Will I be back? Who knows 🤷‍♂️ Is the model capibilities compatible for most use cases? For shizzle 👌

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

Sure are a lot of folks looking at the Claude Code --> Codex exodus as proof "Anthropic is doomed," when instead the takeaway is "coding assistants and their harnesses are trivially interchangeable."

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@NikkiMegaplaza I expected this was going to make me laugh, but wow did I laugh hard 😆

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@virtualized6ix I know that feeling. 🤣 Major Vegas conference decisions:
- The right walking shoes
- The right walking shoes
- Don't forget quality lip balm

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@HankYeomans I think sometimes this stems from a given person having like 20 drinks pre-flight to make the flight more tolerable (or in that case, not remember the flight at all), which may land them in the bathroom for 20% of the flight time.

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@HankYeomans What do you got for GPU horsepower?

[William Collins @MacroEngineered]

@John_Capobianco I haven't read that post, but ... what a bad take. Cancer has caused more pain, suffering, and loss than just about anything else out there. Sheesh
