@mono it is really hard to say. i think some people do, but i'm not sure that this is the reason why they are doing this now. at first i thought they just wanted more money but this does seem more serious to them.

@lain

in a way it makes me feel like this is evidence anthropic have something more valuable than openAI if the USG is going this far just to bully them into un-gimping it.

@mono

The “safety” component seems to mask a lot of the truth behind what these systems are doing. I think it’s all evil but I think also that hiding that it’s evil lets the evil spread its wings more.

For the most part though governments only care that line goes up. The AI bubble is masking a very ugly economic reality that has been dire under that veneer for a long time.

@lain

@Leyonhjelm @lain yeah but this is about them being genuinely concerned about a Skynet situation, not mundane human evil
