Latest batch of Anthropic nonsense dropped http://youtube.com/post/UgkxzQmoMujNPQ6rLLGfrXxI67pGVSJrpu9J

If I had to list every single worldwide problem right now, Trump would be connected to at least 80% of that list

the US Government slides further into technofascism via throwing chatbots into the military https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/code-red-for-humanity you don't hate this administration enough

but right now it doesn't feel like LW is a place where I can collaboratively make intellectual progress on this very important topic.

Maybe that’s because people don’t feel comfortable when you say you should teach an AI race/iq pseudoscience????

Literally everything I've heard about OpenClaw is it fucking up and being a security risk. A sensible person would realise this means it's unreliable and shouldn't be left to take care of important tasks (or really just tasks in general), but AI boosters are typically not sensible people. And the guy who made it got a job at OpenAI, so this is far from the end..

this is like the fourth time an AI agent has completely deleted something important (I remember an article about an AI deleting all of a scientists’s research) How many more times does it have to happen before people stop using AI to look after something important???

sharing this channel’s posts are the equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel but http://youtube.com/post/UgkxoSpDpLNEr9WawVXnl5Mlw4NeQ6-XsLjl this really just feels like an excuse to repost that METR graph. also wtf is the graph on top

it’s always the Elon Musk fans isnt it.

and on the topic of Futurism articles on Elon Musk: https://futurism.com/future-society/court-trouble-jury-hates-elon-musk

one word: LMFAOOOO

oh yeah I 100% agree that their methodology is flawed, and that blog does a pretty good job of outlining the issues. I just thought the absolutely huge gap was both interesting and funny. Their absolutely huge error bars are not a good sign, between that and the gap it really feels like someone screwed up

the metr graph has gotten weird https://metr.org/blog/2025-03-19-measuring-ai-ability-to-complete-long-tasks/ the 50% success rate graph went from 6 hours to 14 hours, but the 80% success rate graph only went from 55 minutes to 1 hour and 3 minutes. I have an itch that it's a fluke or outlier but it's also very possible that LLM coding's just weird like that

the AI safety crowd cuts Anthropic way too much slack. Oh, they’re not running CSAM-generating MechaHitler? Oh, they’re not collaborating with the US government to recreate 1984? I’m so proud of them for doing the bare minimum. They still took donations from the UAE and Qatar (something Dario Amodei himself admitted was going to hurt a lot of people, but he took the donations anyways because “they couldn’t miss out on all those valuations”), they still downloaded hundreds of pirated content to train their chatbot. They’re still doing shady shit, don’t let them off the hook because they’re slightly less evil than the competition
