Wow. Finally someone in the corporation of good paid some attention to mere users’ problems. Really wow.

I hope it’s not the fluke and the person is not going to be laid off for lack of “impact”.

If that person(s) is reading this - god bless you and may everything good in life be with you!

I can understand and respect no meat people’s position (vegans etc), because it is consistent. Even if I disagree generally.

But how can I comprehend people who eat meat and okay with killing animals, but get outraged by so and so practices of growing them? Isn’t it a textbook definition of inconsistency and hypocrisy?

Where is the inconsistency in being ok with killing an animal and eating it and wanting the time leading up to their death to not be misery?

Depending on the farm of course, animals can be extremely happy living a domesticated life. For the first 30 years of my life I raised my own beef, those cows only stayed fenced in because they didn't feel a need to leave. How do I know this? Because as soon as the field they were in had grass under 4 inches to chew at their leisure they would walk up to a fence and push it right over like it wasn't there, then stand 5 feet over the fence chewing fresh grass until you shooed them back inside. If you weren't on top of rotating pasture you would get home to see them happily chewing the grass in your front yard.

They were treated not much different than a dog that eats grass, and had no idea they were food. The worst they knew is sometimes a new calf would appear, sometimes an old cow would be loaded up and drove away. All of them named, although they were mostly on-the-nose, our biggest cow was 2400 pounds and we called him Big Mac.

All that said, that is nothing what factory farming is like which is what most people are eating their food from. But there are ways to raise food animals "humanely", we did it for thousands of years up until the industrial revolution because it was the only way we knew how or could manage them. Without solid walls, hefty steel bars, and a cocktail of drugs and antibiotics when disease inevitably infects those overcrowded facilities, it is pretty difficult to keep most animals contained if they aren't happy, domesticated or not.

They don't get killed adjacent to the farm, the abattoir is usually far away from it, you put them on a truck to send them there. They wouldn't care about being a slave from birth, they don't have the concept. A cow is happy to be eating grass and chewing cud, it doesn't have any highminded ideas about escaping to live a better life.

> they don't have the concept

And yet those people claim they have the concept of suffering (not physical pain).

Don’t you see inconsistency here?

Based on your comment you’re probably not a very good principal engineer ;)

Hence, you are back in the group of those who should benefit from LLMs. Following your own logic :)

Ps: please don’t take it seriously

website looks exactly like a millions of others ai coded tools, that may be a turn off for someone like me

How does the model reliably know if notes and memories were good or bad and update accordingly?

Genuine question - what’s wrong with military leveraging modern technologies? They have been doing it for ages. And thanks to this process for example we have now internet.

Or what’s inherently wrong with catering to military customer?

What’s going on here?

Nothing. And there’s nothing wrong with Anthropic sticking to their principles.

What is wrong, however, is that the retaliatory move to label Anthropic as a supply chain risk is not ok. Further, the timing of it all stinks.

Everyone smells a rat, not just me. Ever heard of “ask the audience”? The crowd is right a HUGE majority of the time.

> The crowd is right a HUGE majority of the time

Even if that's the case, how do you know it's right this particular time?

Also, one can say, crowd huge majority of time makes mediocre decisions at best. Or: crowd can be easily manipulated with intentional propaganda.

We can do all sorts of generalizations that would be generally true. But I got your point, thank you.

A lot of people won’t be dealing with a customer that may be using their product to inflict bodily harm or murder someone. A lot of people are also displeased with the current head of Ministry of Defense, and with his actions, e.g. that he allegedly ordered people killed after their boat has been destroyed

Politics with a sprinkles of hypocrisy, got it.

That is very true. For whatever reasons - the bigger the company, the more unjustified complexity it cripples itself with without being aware about it.

Also survivorship bias is a very real thing (problem prevented is ignored, while problem solved is appreciated regardless of who and why caused it).

Ive lost my ability to do basic and advanced arithmetic calculations or algebraic calculations in school.

That didn’t stop me from getting a phd.

If you think it’s all there’s to programming that llm spits out, then the problem is in you somewhere, not in llms.

Couple of simplified examples for us, mere mortals, not mathematicians would be nice.

When insane immoral peole get guns roaming on streets cops put them to jail, kill, or lock in assylum.

Why it should be any different on government scale?

Whether current iran government qualifies as insane lunatics it is a different argument.

But within the given context it’s the only right thing to do unfortunately.
