7·8 days agoTechnically yes, but Yud probably wouldn’t count that, since the AI didn’t have the express purpose of destroying everyone
So there’s a chance that Anthropic won’t be able to go after anyone with the Claude codebase because copyright laws?

SneerClub@awful.systems•New Round of Criti-Hype Propaganda Drops Next WeekEnglish
2·13 days agoWell this is out now, and I’m surprised to announce the ratings went down from 7.5 from 7.1 on imdb and only 60/100 on Metacritic, though there are only 9 critic reviews and 5 user reviews, which itself is surprising for being so little. Rotten Tomatoes is higher, but only 38 critic reviews and over 50 ratings. I’m surprised it seems to be so unpopular, I thought it’d be blowing up with hundreds of ratings

4·14 days agoOh really? Damn didn’t know that. Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump somehow manages to bypass the injunction, because Trump. You are right they could drop it due to their old person mental fatigue but they could keep chasing because this is a deeply petty and childish administration

7·15 days agoOn the subject of AI and the war in Iran, it feels pretty likely to me that the DoD will explode Anthropic with criminal/legal charges in August like they threatened to (unless Dario steps down), which will definitely be ugly

The other guy is probably right that its a case of AI fanatics using chatbots to summarise what its about without actually engaging with it in any meaningful way (liking and commenting)

11·13 days agoHooray…still thinking about how apparently the OpenAI and Anthropic PR teams were impressed with this doc, which is a pretty clear indicator of what it’s going to be like
the reviews on imdb have dropped a bit (from 8.5 down to 7.5) but that’ll probably change when the full thing drops
Also is it just me or does the trailer have a weirdly large views vs likes ratio? 5.6mil views with only 6.7K likes? is that the norm for documentaries?

2·23 days agoI mean there is a lot of crazy bullshit in there so I don’t blame anyone for getting derailed


Wait, if im recalling right a former StopAI activist went on the run after threatening an OpenAI lab and causing it to shut down, it mentions the suspect has threatened an OpenAI lab before so could it be the same guy??
