On Wednesday, an AI researcher at Anthropic (who also used to work at OpenAI) resigned, saying: "Neither company is acting responsibly. The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the…

I don't think you've fairly summed it up. The title is more accurate than your representation> In a wide-ranging conversation about threat monitoring and analysis, the interview also touches on monitoring activists. “Last year we had an executive travel into a major city when we received some intelligence through Samdesk about a planned protest,”…

Agreed but this is because of politicians and their egos, instead of working together on the most important piece of technology we are competing against.

Gosh, you know what I love? # AI . And # precrime and a hallucinating machine that determines if a human gets detained. That's fun, right? We're all about giving companies like # Anthropic , and # OpenAI and # Meta , and Musk's Folly # X to create dossiers on "activists who don't like AI". We love that, right? We're not at all buying angle grinder…

See, what they're going for here is if they can muster up the defense "well a tool profiled this person, not myself, therefore it isn't illegal profiling, because a tool is the thing doing it, not myself"

I'm not convinced we don't already. Especially with the rate at which data centres are being built... Its pretty culty to me.

Oh they're asking the plausible lying machine to do pre-crime stuff now. Cool cool cool.

I guess they missed the Futurama episode on how this can and will backfire. Which is especially ironic considering somehow characters in a comedy show are more competent than these dumbfucks.

They're trying to be as open as possibly to reduce allay concerns about due diligence.

Yk, I'd forgive you if you said this in Spanish, BUT I too think we should oppose billionaires behind Iowa, but we should remind ourselves the machines are just following orders, and not in the "voluntary" sense of the term.

These companies are becoming scummier and scummier. Unfortunately, benchmarks reveal that their models are still be State-of-Art (SOT) when it comes to LLMs...

I guess I just don't understand the legal space around this, but if I do some "unintended pentesting", I can't just point at my computer and go "It wasn't me, it was my computer!". I'll still be responsible for deviating from the scope. Why aren't the people behind these hacks facing any consequences? https://www. theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026…
