@soldni Respectfully man, what the fuck are you talking about? In what universe is it “harmless” to help to us military bomb children? How is it a positive outcome for humanity?
They are consistent with their actual goal: monopolize access and control over AI development
Luca Soldaini 🎀@soldni
I think self-consistency is such a rare virtue nowadays that people can't conceive of an org that sticks to its mission
agree with them or not, all steps from Ant's leadership are very predictable after conditioning on their core values

@soldni What are their core values? Is harmless not one of them??
Luca Soldaini 🎀@soldni
@pjreddie ugh, I shouldn't have used "virtue" since it has positive connotations; I just wanted to point out they are consistent in their positions

@pjreddie that the definition of harmlessness, while based on public input and 3rd parties consultation, is ultimately up to them unless compelled by law

@pjreddie @soldni thank you for using your voice here. I am pretty sure I got muted or blocked by many of colleagues talking about this.
