    Dario Amodei says he’d rather face ridicule than see Claude used to kill

    Amodei cites his father’s death from hepatitis C and his own cancer survival to explain the weight he places on AI’s benefits. He also says the risks of misuse justify strong safeguards.

    TLDR

    A post quoting remarks described as coming from CBS Sunday Morning shares Dario Amodei’s personal case for balancing AI’s benefits and risks. He connects his family’s experience with disease and his own cancer survival to the importance of medical progress. On safety, he says threat reports describe attempted misuse, including someone trying to use the model to build biological weapons. He says biology students complain about Claude’s restrictions, but he would rather face online mockery than discover someone had used it to kill people.

    @rohanpaul_aiDario Amodei got personal on CBS about AI’s risks, benefits, and the ridicule he faces on social media over safety. "I feel that this is a technology with great benefits and great risks. My father died of a disease, hepatitis C, that was something like 40% curable when he died of it. He wasn't one of the ones who was cured. A few years after, a medicine was invented that made it 95% curable. I myself survived an early-stage cancer that, if I'd been living in 1950, I probably would have died from. So I feel the weight of bringing the benefits of this technology. I also feel the risks. I wake up every day and, you know, I read one of these threat reports, like someone tried to use our model to build biological weapons. Of course, I don't want to be responsible for that, and that's why we have very strong safeguards. Almost every day, I'm made fun of on social media because our model's biology safeguards are too strong. Biology students complain, and they make jokes that they can't use the model. But the reason for that is that we have strong safeguards. I would rather they make fun of me than wake up one day and discover that someone used our model, Claude, to kill a bunch of people. I don't want that. So I feel both sides of it. I feel both sides of the responsibility." ---- From "CBS Sunday Morning" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)
    @HeidyKhlaafA reminder that Anthropic has a partnership with Palantir, and their unreliable models are actively being used domestically and internationally to in fact, "kill a bunch of people."
