It does not suprise me with a potential hike in interest rates on the horizon, also might be due to AI. Maybe the CEO just want some new perspectives to upgrade the workforce to a utopian AI world.
Did Anthropic not recently hire some high-ranking Vatican officials to directly influence the training and ethical rules of their model? Presume they talk deeply about religion to train the model ethical standards. Should have take the offer from Anthropic to influence the training imo.
The author states that he did not join because he did not believe he would have influenced them.
I feel from reading this that Anthropic would benefit from the work of the Nobel Laureate Herb Simon and his book the Philosophy of the Artificial.
So Simon argues that whilst traditional Meta Physics is about physical properties, with artificial creations it is different, what they do is more important than how they are made.
It more important that a watch tells the time than that it contains cogs and crystals.
A computer is defined not by the silicon that it made of but by the software it runs.
So with AI what is important is its function. We don’t need understand how the neurons are wired together
There is something deeply wrong with Reddit's moderation system. In many subreddits, moderatos seem to ban or reomve content simply because it doesn't align with their preferences. To top that, the built-in filters can be frustratingly aggressive. The questions is surely how to improve the content moderation in a different way.
In niche subreddits it bothers me less, because if somebody cares enough they can go spin up their own. What really freaks me out is when it happens in a huge/important (from a societal perspective) community. For example, getting exiled from your local community subreddit (the sole online platform for discussion surrounding it) is a pretty serious situation.
There are more people in need to operate it or added it to reduce workload. It is more likely automates tasks more often than entire jobs and increases productivity before reducing jobs. However, there will be the day when the ulitmate utopian goal will be to remove the word 'work' out of the dictorary for sure.
