just so you guys are noticing this; they will pull the ladder from above you as soon as they can. their intentions are to disempower you as much as they reasonably can. the only reason they have given you anything at all is because openai has forced them to

Users angrily accused tech firms like Anthropic and effective altruism advocates of seeking elitist control to disempower people once OpenAI faces reduced pressure, while others praised competition and leaders like Sam Altman.

@yacineMTB Sam Altman really is our last hope. Elon is directionally correct, but too abrasive and offensive to manage AI talent.

Sam the only one who can both be normal and pull this off.

@yacineMTB @xlr8harder Ordinary people weren't allowed to read it themselves. Why? Scripture is dangerous misinterpreted. Only clergy can handle it safely.

@yacineMTB @boxfan17 They are aiming to turn white collar jobs into menial labor. Large companies and institutions will be whitelisted for “dangerous” use of LLMs

@yacineMTB I took a week off this week because I'm burnt out. Meanwhile yesterday one of my teammates got laid off. Really feeling weird about it

Which is precisely the reason why I hope these snake fucks die eventually. There is no real lead or innovation - everyone else will catch up to them given 6 months to a year.

They can cry all they want about half or more jobs going away and use cult-like propaganda to sell their tech like magic.

@yacineMTB The EA movement is about power for a few and disempowering everyone else. Only the Inner Party gets nice things. It’s for the good of humanity, you see.

@yacineMTB but their name is anthropic why would they do something as misanthropic as try and gatekeep the greatest technological advancement in human history with a name like that

@yacineMTB I’d like to know what is being worked on that the general public doesn’t know about. And yeah they just want a technocracy

No shit sherlock. What you are claiming has disgusting parallels to 50 other different things, ITS ALMOST AS IF ITS ALL CONTROLLED BY THE SAME SYSTEM. Even folk like you, who think they are brought into the fold, are still cannon fodder at the end of the day. How fucked is that lmfao, like how was that worth it? Narrator: "It was not."
