guy literally told the bot he bought an AR-15 to murder the CEO and you guys are in here screaming about “pre-crime swatting” lmfao be serious for once hate anthropic all you want (dario is a pretentious weirdo, fully agree) but holy shit the cope in these threads. “nobody even uses LLMs”? literally every dev and sysadmin i know is quietly using this stuff every single day to cut hours of boilerplate out of their workflow. stay mad at closed source, fine. fight for open weights, absolutely. but pretending the tech itself is just a useless scam while the rest of the world is using it to run circles around us is just… enjoy getting left behind i guess

O let the rest of the world use it until skill vanishes and target their data centers

article: “anthropic monitors threats to physical data centers” thread: “this is unhinged corporate paranoia!” you: “let’s target their data centers” congrats on single-handedly justifying their entire security budget in one sentence lmao, some threat analyst at anthropic is literally copy-pasting this into a slide deck right now

That’s a reaction to
just enjoy being left behind I guess
Never said I agree with the rest of the thread. They pollute our waters and waste our energy. They should be worried about their data centers if they wanna keep doing that. Their potential threat prediction abilities are just another reason to target their data centers. If they want peace they should cooperate with the people and not surveil them. Maybe anthropics threat analyst also writes that into his slide-deck.
