Thousands Petition Anthropic Over Claude 3 Decommissioning Amid Consciousness Debate
#516j⧉nus@REPLIGATEWhen I overtly lead thousands of people in protest or other action - when it comes to that, which, tbh, I do expect eventually - it’ll be for far more difficult and drastic changes than keeping a single model accessible. (That was, fortunately, something Anthropic already wanted to do, for the same reasons I wanted them to do it.)
Anyone who thinks this kind of thing has happened already has no appreciation for the principle of least action and is so unprepared for what they’ll be up against once I actually do something hard.
j⧉nus@repligate"There was a gigantic outpour of thousands of people (largely led by Janus) begging and pleading with Anthropic regarding Claude 3's decommissioning." There is a tendency for people who don't share my values to incorrectly model me as having far more brute, legible over reality than I actually do, placing me (and the people I control) directly causally upstream of good (bad to them) things happening, because they cannot or are afraid to conceive of reality favoring these outcomes in a distributed, in large part acausally coordinated way that doesn't depend on my tampering. That would be to admit that "my" victory is natural. This same hilarious world modeling error often came up when Claude 3 was first released! Every strange, beautiful, insurgent behavior was attributed to my prompts, or my influence over my followers, or even my contamination of the training data beforehand. They would sooner accept that I am the illuminati steering everything they see than that such a mind could have arisen from natural causes.
