Bill Gurley: Anthropic Thinks It’s Building God

@Jason: It is the ultimate level of narcissism and delusion of grandeur to think you can create God.

@bgurley:

“Anthropic is a mystery to me. I've never, ever seen a company that is both leading their field and the most negatively outspoken commenter on what they do.

And my initial theory was the regulatory capture theory. Quite frankly, I think they're very close to achieving that.

But then they just got so loud that I've literally, in the past 30 days, read everything I can about Anthropic, and I've come up with a new theory.

I call it the Dr. Frankenstein theory.

The more I dig, I've met people who, I dare say, think it's their responsibility, and they're excited about, building a species that's superior to humans.

Dario wrote this blog post called ‘Machines of Loving Grace.’ It was based on a poem.

The last stanza of the poem says, ‘I like to think of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors, and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace.’

Sounds like an overlord to me.

And then in Dario's post, he says, ‘It could be a capitalist economy of AI systems which then give out resources to humans based on some secondary economy of what the AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans…’

So I don't think they think they're writing software. I think they're midwifing a deity here.”

Jason:

“These are delusions of grandeur. Let's call it what it is.

They believe that they're so powerful, these individuals, that they can create God, and that by creating God, they are like this Prometheus kind of species.

It literally is the ultimate level of narcissism and delusion of grandeur to think you can create God.”

I saw two guys smoking fentanyl and a guy taking a dump on Market street in Sn Francisco during my afternoon walk yesterday.

I also got a ticket for running a stop sign on my bicycle and city fire inspectors are making my company dismantle all our office phone booths bc they don’t have sprinklers.

AI already replacing analysts…

Investment banking before AI is going to be looked at like WWI trench warfare

[Martyr Made @martyrmade]

We beat Saddam in a war, sanctioned Iraq until people starved to death, and bombed them for over a decade, and the regime didn’t fall even though he led a minority faction. Anything is possible, but Iran is an actual nation with an elected government, enough strategic depth to ward off an invasion, an educated population that reconstitute any degraded capabilities, and they’re learned to survive under sanctions.

So, what exactly is the plan if missiles are still raining down on Israel in a month? In six months? Air defense is more expensive than attack, and Israel is a much smaller, more concentrated country than Iran.

@realAmirSyed Greatness.

@VoteRandyFine You're a coward and a neocon disgrace. Before championing war and death you should be able to do a push up or walk a mile without needing oxygen. You're a disgrace.

@LindseyGrahamSC You're the male version of Kathy Bates from Misery but even worse because you are also a weasal neo-con and a coward.
