alt Hacker News"The industry is not prepared to handle this safely"
After the election, titles like this just irritate me. Every piece written about AI progress is:
"The machines taking jobs, flooding the internet with sludge and poisoning our online experiences, are getting better even faster! Isn't this incredible? Yeah but sorry we also think it's only riskier than ever to deploy these systems at scale. That being said, we're still going to do it, go public and take institutional money from people's retirement funds, destroy the job market, and make 3000 Anthropic employees and 500 investors really rich. There wasn't anything we could do besides write a lot of ink on it and be shocked we lost every local data center referendum."
I feel you are committing a Goomba fallacy?
The author of this article works for METR and not Anthropic, their whole job is supposed to be providing independent oversight on the labs. They are definitely not in the "this is incredible" crowd, they are the ones asking for development and deployment to slow down.
