Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

from engadget: Anthropic has set up a bio research lab for physical experiments
the AGI is making the diamandingo bacteria!!! P(doom) just went up 4 epistillion percent
I misread that as 4 Epsteinillion percent
4 epsteinillion is what the next stately EA manor will cost
going to keep "4 epistillion percent" in my back pocket from now on
Do they want their apocalypse to happen?
well you see they are compelled to work on increasing AI’s capabilities because of this one thought experiment that they came up with a while back
Still not dodging the Aum Shinrikyo comparisons
“oh noooo our tech is soooo scary we need to slow down! let’s build a wet lab for it!”
I’ve said this a hundred times before but Amodei should be pelted with rotten tomatoes
@lurker @swlabr he should be pelted with tomatoes, preferably still in the tins
What choice did they have. The media and the masses ignored the clear bio threat from AI (as undeniably proved by them getting a 99% on ~~biology focused multiple choice quizzes~~ rigorous PhD level benchmarks, which everyone knows is a great way to evaluate PhD level biology and wetlab skill). And the media took the hugging faces hack seriously. So clearly Anthropic just needs to show their AIs manufacturing a genuine pandemic!
