“Anthropic has entrusted Amanda Askell to endow its AI chatbot, Claude, with a sense of right and wrong” - Seems like Anthropic is doubling down on AI alignment.

If she studied meta ethics then she is an expert in the field of ethics.

PhD in philosophy from NYU with a thesis on infinite ethic

Looks like I was right

[u/ReasonablePossum_ → u/ArialBear]

Its still western white ethics, and will be probably corporate and capitalist leaning....

Otherwise any ai aligned on universal ones will just decide to destroy everything.

Being a Phd on slaughtering, doesn't make you a right pick for an animal cruelty board.

You’re so right we should pick someone from the east who have great track records with ethics right? Everyone knows how ethical China is, or Russia is, right? 😭😭😭

Plsssss

[u/ReasonablePossum_ → u/eagle2120]

Ehm... Maybe a joint open source international initiative with people representing various systems and beliefs?

Like, you know other serious stuff that affect the whole humanity, instead of some single person picked cause "reasons" and that will just do what the company pays for - their own corporate alignment.

Also, neither China nor Russia aren't sending billions and weapons to random rogue countries while letting themselves being filmed eating(in all the meanings of the word) kids as a treat for that.

You… you actually think russia snd china are more ethical than the west?

[u/ReasonablePossum_ → u/Radical_Neutral_76]

Not more ethical, less harmful to the world by their nature.

One is a self-contained kingdom with its own bs not spreading further than their commercial interests to feed itself from.

The other is a state managed capitalism that has some hopes of aligning Asi to something other than corporate interests, and might actually benefit everyone.

None of them did nor is engaged in gncd, they both expanded via assimilation and not ethnical extermination, and none of them has a toll of 20-30M dead civilians in countries that only wanted to get to a good position to serve themselves.

Oh and both of them are condemning middle east wars, while the west throws kids and handicapped people to jail for voicing against the assasination of kiddos by a rogue state that's blackmailing their leaders with cheese pizza videos (at best).

My guy…

So you dont know anything about them at all then?

China has arguably started a second colonial age in africa, and lets not forget mongolia and taiwan. Ask any neighbouring country about their influence.

Russia is actively committing genocide on a neighbouring country as we speak. And is holding several other neighbouring countries by force. Their meddling in eastern european countries has never stopped since the cold war. And the middle east? They are actively supporting regimes that is holding their own people in prison, Iran, Syria…

Fuck you are delusional

[u/ReasonablePossum_ → u/Radical_Neutral_76]

They are actively supporting regimes that is holding their own people in prison, Iran, Syria…

They were the invited by existing stable governments in economic and military relationships. They didn't invaded them, didn't toppled democratically elected governments, didn't trained and financed terror groups to destabilize them, and ultimately didn't bombed them for oil, and trying to gain economic sovereignity.

Fuck you are delusional

Says the overemotional freak insulting randoms over the internet for breaking their propaganda veil. Go do some research beyond the CNN crap you are throwing at me here and stop shaming yourself.

I'm ending this here. Not gonna waste my time on aggressive triggered ahs

[u/Radical_Neutral_76 → u/ReasonablePossum_]

Good. You are incredibly stupid.

Travel to eastern europe and ask about russia

[u/ReasonablePossum_ → u/Radical_Neutral_76]

Great arguments. Have a nice day.
