Worth talking to people like me who know the people at the companies, but don't have conflict of interest. It's 100% clear if you actually study the history that these concerns are real. They predate the companies ffs
@danpfeiffer I promise you that we are actually literally worried about world-ending consequences from this technology. Please find some people you trust who work at these companies and actually talk to them about their views.
@DavidSKrueger What % of google, Anthropic, or OpenAI care about safety more than a promotion or bonus?
