The Register and NYT reported growing pushback framing the CEOs' unified stance as an attempt to define favorable rules for themselves; Silicon Valley figures and online commenters called the move self-serving.

If it was that serious, we would be seeing a lot more agency then a tweet and a blog post. I'm not even sure why the public needs to know about how "scary" AI is as we can't do much, don't know any of the technical details and Anthropic have already decided to punish anyone involved in anti-ai protests."Anthropic Is Building a Huge Surveillance…

Frustrating part of the Trump post is the continued insistance that AI race must be US vs. China, winner-take-all. With no wiggle room. Rather than some sort of arms treaty — which would be crazy hard to accomplish, but there is more than a little common cause.

It’s not only hubris — I think it’s actively counterproductive. The US could choose to:(a) Sell many billions of dollars of fancy chips to China, thus bringing in billions of dollars of money and billions of dollars of trade balance improvement. And let China continue to build models quickly when they seem oddly happy to export the trained weights…

> Amodei, meanwhile, outlined some very specific things he wants from Washington: Stop selling Nvidia chips to China so its AI companies can’t build better models, and a crackdown on model distillation.You have to be the embodiment of hubris to believe the only reason a technologically advanced country of 1.4 billion people with several AI labs…

Can anyone recommend me a viable alternative to these clowns? I would like to move my work (excel and light coding) off the big guys. My computer isn’t very powerful though so I need to upgrade or find hosted models (host my own?) that won’t steal my sensitive data?Edit: miss me with the downvotes. These guys are clowns. I want alternatives. Thank…

Four ostensibly competing billionaires agree with each other and want worldwide government regulations around their moneymaking? o_OChilling and suspicious. Of course, this will lead to a modicum of safety in some provable way to justify (in uncritical minds) the rest of the implications: fewer freedoms and more surveillance for everyone else.

They have such a weird and outdated view of China, it's almost comical. It's like America's answer to everything bad coming to them is protectionism. They still think China is a third world country with a bunch of factories and polluting industries not able to do anything else other than manufacturing products for foreign companies

I was on edge for last few months, but made a decision recently to not give another dollar to Anthropic.It’s so obvious they’re playing safety card to get politicians to reign down on individual’s freedoms.

All these companies are suddenly crying about "slowing down" after insisting on having no guardrails nor restrictions?All at once in lockstep?Who paid them to say this? These are all lies.

It's funny because this is EXACTLY how it played out with Japan in the mid-20th century. "Japan can only make cheap copies of our stuff!" They even joke about it in Back to the Future.
-
Underestimating China's capability to make homegrown technology is a mistake I could understand 20 years ago. Now it's just a sign of poor judgment.

Also, distillation means paying US AI firms api fees. Do they want to loose that source of income as well?
