    TLDR

    A user describes a scenario in which ideologically selected people at companies would stand between governments and an emerging AI “singleton,” a single dominant system. In the user's telling, those insiders would ultimately control it more than governments would. The post calls the idea “both sinister and hilariously naive.”

    Zack Kanter@zackkanterTo paraphrase Reagan, the sixteen most terrifying words in the English language are: “I'm from ‘the right combination of governments’ chosen by Dario Amodei, and I'm here to help.”24d
    Austen Allred@AustenThe problem with Dario’s position is he thinks if he compliments government and regulation profusely enough, if he says he *really really* wants to be regulated, that he’ll be in charge of how that happens. But he won’t. It doesn’t work like that. He won’t have any say.24d
    @jason@Jasonnow Dario wants to give Anthropic over to a new super government… that he is going to run as, what, high priest?! Does he know how insane this sounds?! No one wants a one-world government run by a council of tech monks Hard no.24d

    Bindu Reddy@bindureddyWow! Dario went on TV and literally pleaded to be regulated by a bunch of governments 😳 Imagine the UN or EU regulating AI. They have zero clue about AI and It will be a huge disaster exactly like Europe! TBH, Anthropic and OpenAI can pace, slow down or do whatever they want - just leave the rest of the AI world alone 🙏24d
