Still. I will happily take a company with some moral fiber over one with none when it comes to this AI race to the bottom.
Not saying Anthropic are the good guys here (there are none IMHO) but they are clearly trying to be the “less bad guys”.
Huh. TIL I guess. That study cites a bunch of credible sources at least, but I haven’t had a chance to dig into the findings in detail yet.
That said, even per the cited paper, the difference between your kids growing up dumb or smart is primarily environmental. So, that supports my original point: Given proper education there’s a good chance these kids will grow up to surpass their parents.
Intelligence is not a transferable trait, unlike physical traits. There’s no guarantee that these kids won’t educate themselves and surpass their parents in intellectual capabilities. All we need is indeed better public education.
Oh, I am not saying they’re not still opportunistic money-chasers. Hence the comment about there not being any good AI companies. To me though, their reluctance on some topics and honest admissions on the capabilities of their AI make it appear that they less happy to throw all principals overboard in the race to win the AI market than the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Musk.
