Manheim says universal regulation slows down overall technological development.
anthropic seems desperate to be tightly regulated by a government that has far less intelligence and coherence than anthropic, how you see this depends on whether you believe that anthropic has also more intelligence and coherence than yourself
Users dismiss Anthropic's push for tight government AI regulation as a self-serving stunt for regulatory capture that would give the company free rein while crushing smaller competitors.
@Plinz the ironic distance is impressive but something about framing it as a compliance flex feels. off
@Plinz If the regulation applies to everyone, and does the thing regulation typically does, i.e. slows down progress, pushing for and welcoming it is entirely consistent with the stated belief that if AI keeps moving quickly we might all die.
@Plinz Actually, they want everyone else regulated by government whilst they have free rein.
@Plinz Its a stunt. They want more money not regulation.
@Plinz The real question is what happens when, at the current rate, the models themselves become soon more intelligent and coherent than Anthropic, governments, every other company and institution, and you and me.
Who regulates whom then?
@Plinz regulation flywheel mandates that they are the only "credible" AI for industries
@Plinz I doubt I'm even comparable in intelligence, but that doesn't automatically invalidate my perspective.
I deeply believe the kind of AI regulation they want will ruin AI for everyone who isn't a trillion dollar company.
@Plinz the claude bois yearn for the classifier
@Plinz i think at a certain points it pays to stop seeing those for whom you are enemies as simply misguided or naive, but as enemies doing enemy things for enemy reasons.
@RiverKhan @Plinz source to that claim?
@Plinz Regulatory Capture as a way to quash smaller competitors.
@Plinz last sentence is doing a lot of work lol
ur either with em or you fall for the oversight
