...and yes: Accountability should not be stripped just because the actor did wiggle their deeds through an LLM.
If Anthropic attacks a company again, I think this should be prosecuted.
There are polarized viewpoints... but look at this thread, everyone is taking a shit on anthropic. It is definitely not a fair and balanced diverse set of viewpoints.
I don't give a shit about anthropic nor am I taking any sides here. It's just HN commenters have literally been delusional calling AI stochastic parrots at a time where it was solving problems and talking to you like a human in front of our very eyes. When I see people consistently trash dario for being wrong on this topic... I'm seriously asking how do you guys know? And how do you expect me to believe you when practically all of HN has been wrong about AI on everything.
But group think and majority opinions and mob mentality are real phenomena too. The problem is you nor I can’t prove it either way. So from a technical standpoint we are at a stalemate in terms of who is right and who is wrong.
I will say this, any reasonable person who’s been around HN threads can know through vibes that the majority opinions on AI among HN commenters has been violently wrong. The reasoning behind why is easy. It’s because HN is made up of software engineers and AI is poised to eat software engineers alive first. It’s eating up our identities in front of our eyes and the only was forward for most people is to lie to themselves and side with the more rosy future prediction which is also the less probable outcome.
