Sometimes we forget important things. If doing that means an AI goes rogue, that means the AI's will go rogue.
Ever wake up in a panic, feeling like you’re missing something extremely important? Perhaps you left the stove on, or you’ve forgotten your anniversary, or maybe you left a tenacious inhuman hacker alone in a cell and forgot to lock the door? For Anthropic, the nightmare is

It says that AI companies are funding each other because no one else will — because everyone else thinks AI is snake oil and wants no part of it. The desperation argument is demonstrably false.

"If you’re not going to stop the AI race, this is actually one of the more sensible, easy-to-implement proposals." read more of Mitch on @elonmusk at aistop.watch/p/elon-musks-p…
