alt Hacker Newsi think you need to engage seriously with the arguments they (or at least Anthropic) make for why they are building it — they feel that since it now possible, it will be built and they want to guide it in a positive direction rather than leave a vacuum for bad actors

I don't see why AI company PR statements are relevant here. Is OpenAI guiding it in a positive direction with their DoD contract?

It sure seems like it would be being built more slowly if these companies weren't pouring billions of dollars into building it as fast as possible.
That might give us more time to think through strategies for handling it as a society.

Well they're doing a pretty poor job of guiding it in a positive direction and ethically speaking they are almost indistinguishable from the bad actors....
