alt Hacker NewsAlways trippy for us apocalyptic optimists to read coverage about safety concerns and consolidating power in AI firms that reads exactly like these companies have been reporting for 20 years for smart phone apps, B2B SASS battles, and hospitality industry schemes. Reminds me of today's articles on the escalating war involving at least one nuclear power mentioning the Dow Jones as the fourth bullet point, but on an even larger and more ridiculous scale.
Godspeed to Anthropic! Hopefully they can be a force for good, despite the various deals with the devil that they've taken. They've lost so many safety and e/acc people that I was getting dubious, but they certainly are staying in the fight.
Shame they're already for-profit... But don't worry, they Pinky Promise to be For The Public Benefit :)

Anthropic is legally a Delaware Public Benefit corporation so it's written into their corporate governance.
How effective that governance will be at balancing the public benefit with profit remains to be seen, but it's a lot more than just a pinky promise.
