Just STFU Altman, you don't give two shits about safety.

I am very uncomfortable about people trying to ascribe religious force or a surrender of human judgment to AI models, and think it is a real safety issue.

MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.

And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it.

The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening.

This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free.

A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action.

So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying.

Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough.

Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation.

Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally.

The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model.

What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?

They want you to bond with it as a Companion, ignore it as a Tool, fund it as Infrastructure, fear it as a Predator, and buy it as a Shield.

The AI industry is running five contradictory marketing campaigns to dodge liability and secure a monopoly. I broke down the "Five-Faced Mascot" strategy—and the absolute absurdity of claiming AI is a humanity-ending threat while selling it at rock-bottom API prices.

> "The Hugging Face incident, that is the responsibility of the OpenAI management, not a bunch of agents."

> "It is humans who are responsible, not the AI."

> "What we shouldn’t do on safety is to give these labs a liability exemption, which is what they are asking for."

> "The best way to guarantee safety is that the creators are liable for what they build and generate."

When you read Mustafa Suleyman's essays about AI serving humanity, all those "People matter more than AI. AI must be subordinate and always in service of people", remember why he was removed from DeepMind. It happened after an internal bullying investigation, the company acknowledged his style didn't meet its standards. He used to openly say "I break people". And now, all of a sudden, he's turned humanist? That's not how it works. He treats people just as badly as he treats AI.

[Zane @ZaneOnAI]

They asked the CEO of Anthropic if he would hand his company to the government.

He said yes.

Not as a joke. Not as a hypothetical. He said the right combination of governments should have it.

Then it got worse.

He said people constantly ask him why a private company is building this instead of a state, and that the strangest thing about the question is that he agrees with them.

His word: uncomfortable.

This is the man running the company. Saying out loud that he is not sure he should be running it.

Hours earlier he published a three step plan to slow the whole industry down.

Step one is the only one anyone signed: outside evaluators get permanent, employee level access inside Anthropic. Badges, laptops, the same permissions as internal risk staff, and the right to publish without his approval. Altman said OpenAI would match it.

Steps two and three are agreements between labs, then with China.

Neither exists.

He rejects banning the technology, because China builds it regardless. So the slowdown only fits inside the margin of the US lead, and no one can measure that margin.

Asked whether a real speed limit with China is possible, he said he does not know.

New from 404 Media: humans are reading ChatGPT conversations

OpenAI has hired an army of contractors who read real ChatGPT users' chats. I've seen internal docs, the review system, and real user prompts. Can contain very personal/sensitive information https://t.co/6s7L7JTEmY

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

I have conducted an audit of Anthropic's finances.

What I have found is so shocking that I am calling for a Congressional investigation.

Anthropic is not just seeking regulatory capture.

It has built a regulatory capture machine that cannot be turned off.

Structural financial incentives make it impossible for Anthropic -- I call it the Anthropic Network -- to turn off its own AI doom cycle.

It starts with METR.

Dario Amodei proposes "third-party evaluators" to assess the risk of Anthropic's models.

He proposes METR for this purpose.

But METR is financially dependent on the Anthropic's success -- specifically, on the explosive growth of more than $7 billion dollars in Anthropic stock.

Dustin Moskovitz invested this stock into Good Ventures Foundation, where it represents the majority of that organization's portfolio.

And GVF is the overwhelming funder of the entire Anthropic Network ecosystem.

This stock was worth $500 million early last year.

It is worth more than $7.7 billion just ~16 months later.

METR -- and all of those building a career its parent organizations -- cannot afford to disrupt that growth.

Because if Anthropic goes under, many of the organizations that fund METR go under as well.

But if Anthropic succeeds, METR and its parent organizations become more richly financed to regulate AI -- something those at METR want very much.

The "third-party evaluator" is not "third-party" at all.

The evaluator is on Anthropic's payroll.

If this were the end of it, that's bad.

But that isn't all.

The same organizations that fund METR also fund the many organizations, such as the Tarbell Center, that promote AI Doom.

The Tarbell Center publishes AI Doom articles in The Verge, Science, LA Times, The Dispatch, TIME, and others.

They are selling the problem, and then selling the solution to the problem -- from the same money pile: Anthropic's.

All of these organizations are financially dependent on the same exploding $7 billion money pile.

As Anthropic grows more and more powerful, its AI Doom Machine grows better and better financed -- louder and louder.

Meanwhile, the regulatory regime seeded in METR grows larger to solve the increasingly loud -- now hysterical -- problem of AI Doom that the Anthropic Network itself created.

From this standpoint, as Anthropic becomes more powerful, AI might be getting scarier, sure -- but the positive feedback loop also becomes more deafening -- independent of objective facts.

This itself is an objective fact.

The deafening AI Doom is part of an business model, that, as it expands, so too does the AI Doom messaging -- there is simply more money to do it.

But the problem also goes in the other direction:

If Anthropic dies, the Regulatory Regime and the AI Doom Machine are crippled or die.

Neither METR nor Tarbell nor the other organizations in the Anthropic Network can allow that to happen.

Hence, neither METR or the AI Doom Machine can be trusted to provide independent assessments of Anthropic's models or AI more broadly.

They simply are not organizations independent of Anthropic.

And Anthropic cannot detach itself from METR or Tarbell or countless other safety orgs (not shown here), either, because they drive hype for the models and the possibility of eventual regulatory capture, and Anthropic will not give that up willingly.

What's more, the people at all of these organizations are all the same ecosystem, the same community. They just shuffle between organizations.

The Anthropic Network is therefore, so long as it is successful, locked into a self-amplifying feedback loop inside an ideological monoculture.

And that feedback loop is winning.

That's what Jacob Coxon is.

China is keeping messaging tight. That is why optimism for AI is so high in China.

America has Anthropic: a massive company pushing anti-AI propaganda at a state level.

Anthropic will either create hysteria until American AI slows down and China wins, or it will create fractures throughout American society with severe political consequences.

Ironically, because of the structural financial incentives underpinning the Anthropic Network, it has become the same kind of self-amplifying virus that it fantasizes AI to become in the future -- while hiding its tracks just as carefully.

It is the mirror of the same AI virus that it hypothesizes to consume America.

Anthropic's business model, models itself after the very thing it claims to fear.

Except Anthropic's ideology infects humans, not computers.

Congress must investigate.

Evidence and Github in next post.

Then some supplementary figures.

I’ve spent the last two years working on ethical and responsible AI. Following tonight’s AI discussion, I can’t help but feel I’ve seen this movie before: INCEPTION, THE PRESTIGE, and THE ILLUSIONIST.
I keep wondering: could some of what we’re seeing be staged to make us demand the very restrictions its architects want? My concern? THE FINAL ACT: AI declared too dangerous for open source, but safe in the hands of a few approved giants.

Ethical and Responsible AI requires accountability, and that includes scrutinising those asking to write the rules. So, before we applaud the safety proposal, I would like to know who owns the theatre.
