So much of the badness in the world is caused by misgovernment that I sometimes think the most effective form of philanthropy would simply be to donate to political campaigns.
great. now it’s only anthropic who can deliver agi safely to the world.
anthropic against a misaligned world.
anthropic should continue focusing on its mission and ignore all the noise.
@signulll It's officially REAL HOUSE VCs and DEVs of SILICON VALLEY! There is so much freaking drama since the AI has taken off that it's hard to keep up. Someone make a show.
@nicochristie Even Microsoft Windows is not open source. Only their non-critical products are open-sourced or some underlying tech stack that is developer focused that is never intended to make money.
I will say, it would have been easy for Anthropic to just sign the letter and then lobby behind the scenes and I respect that they didn’t.
They believe something and they’re sticking to it even when costly.
The deepest truth about open source is that winners don’t do it
Nvidia won’t do it for CUDA
Apple won’t do it for IOS
Google won’t do it for Search
Anthropic definitely won’t do it for AGI
The people with the most insight into the market implications of AI — the CEOs of META, Google, Nvidia, and dozens of other technology companies, most major venture funds, etc. — are coordinating to lobby against a single company.
We should be INSANELY bullish Anthropic right now.
