If we were using AI as a tool, I would 100% agree with Eric. But we’re not. We’re pretending it’s a precision C&C machine when it’s the most Rube Goldberg way to produce sloppy work in existence.
The edges are sloppy. The cuts are sloppy. The precision is all over the place. And we say that’s fine because customers are getting what they want.
Meanwhile, customer are unhappy and having an absolutely shitty experience because… the edges are sloppy, the cuts are sloppy, and the precision is all over the place.
AI tools are not going away. Nor do I want them too. But the psychotic belief in their superiority at producing software in place of an engineer coding will go down in history as one of our poorest moments of judgement.
Anthropic: Most hypocritical company in history?
👉 Screams about how AI will kill everyone, while racing ahead.
👉 Moans about distillation while distilling the world’s books, articles, and other writings.
👉 Shuts down allegedly dangerous external science projects while running the biggest, most expensive gain-of-function experiment in history.
It takes *real intention* to suggest these employees are acting in their own capacity
Dozens of employees saying the same thing, verbatim?
You are revealing yourself as an agent in a psyop 🤓

Can someone explain to me why OpenAI and Anthropic allow any employee to tweet anything they want.
Apple, Google, Facebook, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla, Uber and Airbnb all have obvious and granular rules about e
employees speaking for the company.
Which is to say, employees should never say anything publicly unless it's cleared with comms first
which isn't intended to censor anyone, just to make sure the company is aligned and marching in unison
I could never imagine tweeting the stuff that OpenAI and Anthropic employees are tweeting without checking with the CEO and founders first!
So are these P-doomers clearing their tweets with the CEO and comms?
@tech__unicorn I worked for Palantir too!
My job was improving the targeting of children for bombing campaigns 🤓
We are such good people doing such good things 🤓

Has anyone noticed that a particular kind of neurotic nerdy white boy seems to disproportionately prone to freaking out about the AI apocalypse?
You almost never see Chinese or Indian AI researchers have public breakdowns like this. Or women.
White boys histrionics are taken uncritically by the public, which reinforces their delusions. While those other groups are quickly taught by the world to snap out of it
I resigned from Anthropic today. I wanted to kill everyone on earth and some of my bosses only wanted to kill like half that. I'm looking for a new job that's down for some real #death and #extinction
"You're all going to die if you don't put us in charge and adopt our Communist values"
The excuse keeps changing, but the end goal always remains the same.
We are rushing to a 1984 world where they imprison scientitsts, and control the truth to consolidate power.
