On this day in 1984 this was Apple on “1984”. It was an ad that defined the company and an era. It was anti-big company, anti-big government and pro-individual and pro-privacy. It set the ethos of early computer users. It was another time and place.
We believe our work may be one of the first instances where members of the public have collectively directed the behavior of an AI through an online deliberation process. You can read more about our research in our blog post here: anthropic.com/index/collecti…
To those who say: "but closed source products have billions of investments behind them" I reply: In the mid-90a, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems battled to provide the software infrastructure of the internet, MS with WinNT+IIT+ASP+IE, Sun with Solaris+httpd+Java+Netscape. They…
OMW to the courthouse this morning for #USvGoogle. Satya Nadella is expected to testify today. I find CEOs are often reluctant to acknowledge the impact of anticompetitive conduct by their competitors because they want to project strength & confidence to their own shareholders...
@OwainEvans_UK But the real kicker from Owain's result is that it implies that hallucinations come from incredibly sharp missing gaps in training data. Implies LLMs are like interactive books They have the info they have... and nothing else Little-to-no deductive logic Good for safety!

Remember the signatories of the @FLIxrisk open letter, which called for a pause on advanced AI development? According to a new paper, "Why They're Worried," their motivation to sign had nothing to do with X-risk. Their concerns were NOT centered on "Human Extinction" at all. 1
Interesting poll results by @DanielColson6’s new AI Policy Institute. 82% of US voters don’t trust tech executives to self-regulate on AI, 72% would support slowing down development. Looks like it’s time for governments to step in and ban AGI development in the private sector?
In the last few months, the UK has shown great ambition to lead the world in mitigating risks from AI. But what does this mean in practice? A 🧵. 1/5
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: All of Apple, WhatsApp & Signal will be pulling their products out of the UK market because of proposed Government surveillance obligations. Yes, really.
