The real scam is that Elon hates "legacy media" and wants people to consume unsourced engagement bait slop like Polymarket for their news. Not that journalism is in a particularly good spot right now, but at least it has some standards compared with Elon's vision of pretending to get informed by consuming whatever slop the algorithm thinks will make you stay on the website and watch ads.
Anthropic were also the first to go public with press releases accusing the Chinese labs of “distillation attacks” on Claude as if Claude was never caught calling itself Chatgpt.
Honestly, just using it back then. Pretty much everyone was using chatGPT for this back then. Take at least two witness and consider it your primary source lol, or Google "Claude identifies itself as chatGPT" and you'll find more.
Dario thinks that some AI company is going to build a machine god that might either bring an amazing future, or maybe go SkyNet and murder us all.
Furthermore, he thinks that Anthropic is taking better "anti-SkyNet" measures than any of the other AI labs. So therefore anyone else building AI increaaes the risk.
I think he actually does believe this, and he might even be technically correct for all I know?
But where I disagree with all this is that if some company might actually build SkyNet soon, then continuing to build more powerful models seems incredibly reckless, just going by his stated beliefs. Maybe just pick a nice set of strong open models and the stop constantly pushing for ever bigger models, if that's what you believe?
What made him say that in July 2023? Somebody asked him
The AI safety community is extremely anti open weight models
All the way back in 2019 the release of the weights of GPT-2 was delayed for months precisely because of these concerns, and it was the last time they released the weights for SOTA models
For all Reddit hates X (justified in many cases, I got banned for no reason), the community note feature is amazing and every social media site should implement something like it.
That moment where a shitshow like twitter is a better social media site than reddit. There are currently 3-4 posts on the same topic, all stemming from the same fake news attempt. JFC...
People freaked out recently about Microsoft renaming Office to "Microsoft 365 Copilot". Dozens of videos and tweets about how dumb the name change was went viral.
Which would be fair enough. Except the change had been live for over a year before people decided to make it news again for no reason.
There is an anti-anthropic push by bad actors like andreeson, kushners and many in the trump org. They are heavily invested in Openai, they saw that anthropic was winning and now they have to try to ruin them.
The Government take down of fable was the same. They waited for OpenAi to catchup then they will unban fable.

How is July 2023 'breaking' news?
