This isn’t getting nearly enough attention.  The fact that the government will not sign a contract that says they won’t mass surveil civilians or use fully autonomous weapons is basically an admission of guilt and should scare the living hell out of everyone.  Major credit to Anthropic for sticking to their moral framework here at what I’m sure is a massive cost to their company.

Unfortunately, there are most likely others who only care about the $$

It’s only a matter of time. Everyone at the top is on the same team and that isn’t our team.

A sobering analysis of how quickly AI is making many jobs obsolete, but with some advice for navigating the new reality this is creating.

Interesting read, but I find it suspicious that the author (If indeed it wasn't written by a LLM) says that to adapt we should use the subscription based (paid) chatbots. 

I do find it interesting that the article refers to the knowledge based jobs to soon be lost. Those people will have a hell of a time when they're out of work. How will they pay for someone to do the things that they can't do for themselves.....the things that AI can't do either

With the little bit of dabbling I’ve been using AI for at work, I’d say that there are (or will be soon) tens or maybe even hundreds of thousands of people who ‘talk’ to AI interfaces more than they talk to humans.  Every time you enter a prompt, the response is always something like “That’s a very insightful thought…” or “That question already shows that you are thinking of this at a higher level than most….”.  I personally know that nothing I’m asking is insightful or at a ‘higher level’ of thinking, but I could definitely see a lot of people getting caught up in that positive feedback loop and begin to use AI for every single decision that they make.

I just read an article about how an AI coding agent deleted all of a company's data. In 9 seconds. Reportedly the storage provider had poor backup policies, and insufficient safeguards. The important thing is tha AI ignored the guardrails it found in place.
