Tenobrus questioned whether these corporate motives are practically distinguishable
Purposefully nerfing the models to stop others from competing with you shows you exactly what Anthropic's whole AI safetyism is really all about.
They want to have a monopoly on AGI and are post-hoc rationalizing this as the safe and virtuous way forward.
man. i've been trying out fable for some language modeling research and it's weirdly really bad. anyone else having issues with it?
Users accused Anthropic of hypocrisy, elitism and hubris for allegedly nerfing models to secure an AGI monopoly, with some fearing they would be misled by the outputs.
@beffjezos is there any observable difference between the world where they genuinely believe allowing access to this capability is unsafe vs the one where they are merely attempting to seize monopoly?

@beffjezos All the virtue signaling with the Pentagon now makes sense, huh? Anthropic's true colors are much darker. The level of hubris over there is incredible. They trained on everyone's AI research and now screw those same people. I REALLY hope someone puts them in their place.
@beffjezos I’m legit worried about even using this model on my codebase with 2 years of scientific research. Imagine being led in the wrong direction.
@beffjezos
@beffjezos Loooks so hypocritical again
@beffjezos True story.
@beffjezos You're conflating filtering with monopoly. all labs filter, all call it safety. you're right it's positioning, that's the norm. question is whether it's legitimate or narrative theater.
@beffjezos I agree, elitism vibes lately.
@beffjezos Models are a means to an end — the real moat is alignment IP and political leverage. Safety as a regulatory weapon is the oldest play in the book.
@beffjezos Anthropic wants to use their models to take over the world.
@beffjezos And by "put them in their place", I mean come out with a much better model that puts them to shame.
