AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC

preview

I’m not an AI techie and I’m not well educated on LLMs/AI in general. The issue I’m having is the dichotomy between how people talk about it. I’ve heard completely opposite ends of the spectrum. From AI is quickly becoming advanced enough to threaten human society, all the way to its a glorified dictionary/search engine that can’t really do much of anything. I know Lemmy has a steep anti-AI slant. But, can someone talk about this in a way I can wrap my head around why the divide seems so big?

I’ve got about 20 hours in. So far I’m loving it. I’ll get into more detail if we have back and forths in the comments.

I’ve been hearing about these for a few years now. Huge if they work out at a large scale.

That’s fair

I’m also looking for that answer

Awesome. This is the exact type of thkng I was looking for. Will read soon. Thanks!

No, as previously stated I am not educated on the subject almost at all. Why I framed the post as a question.

Still problematic.

That’s what I mean though, the subject of this article was a 27 year old worker. Not some high level Sam Altman type.

Okay that all makes sense. Appreciate you taking the time to type it out.

on AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago
Okay cool, thanks!
1. If the techies believe it and they are the “experts” what makes them crazy? Wouldn’t their opinion be the most informed?
2. Yeah that part definitely makes sense
3. That definitely makes sense from a capitalist perspective. But, is the argument against regulations that they would be bad for the concentration of power it would give select companies? Or just that they aren’t necessary because the tool is of little use so it’s just wasted time/money.
4. That makes sense but trillions of dollars are being spent. Anything that amount of money is sinking into is gonna be talked about a lot. Especially thousands of jobs cut because of it.

I don’t have the confidence in my knowledge/understanding of the topic to just take a “its all bullshit” view. Especially when many of the people who believe that act like you. You don’t have to be a prick to explain something or talk about it.

Am I the idiot for not being an expert and not just automatically assuming a side is objectively correct. I’m an expert in a couple things, truly, not in this. I’ve seen some compelling comments from a few perspectives in this thread alone. Why be a dickhead?

on AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago
Yeah I can’t tell if an article like this has the intent to spread a fact, enforce anti AI attitudes or enforce pro AI attitudes. Realistically all three are possible but I think one of the latter two are most likely.

on AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5d ago
I just have no idea if that’s true.

I follow you and that all makes sense.

Wicked clunky combat, kinda like a Piranha Bytes game. Its a good game but if you didn’t like this game’s combat I can’t imagine you’d like that.

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Yeah, makes sense you’d hate this game lol. Fair enough, like I said, to each their own.

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Not a witcher 3 person? To each there own on that, I’m loving the combat.

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Yeah a progression like that would make it a top 99th percentile game.

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
I agree so far

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Totally reasonable

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Thats a very pragmatic approach, I can respect it. I was sold after seeing gameplay and learning of the development pedigree. I’ve been very happy so far. It plays very similarly to the witcher 3, though I’d say the movement and combat are better. Writing is on par and better in some places. Its got a few mechanics that are novel and I appreciate. Its got some bugs and a few things I dont love but overall its fantastic. Again I’m only 20 hours in. On day 25.

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Only 20ish hours in but I can see multiple playthroughs in my future. Especially with future updates/patches/dlc

on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? in c/games@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
Yeah I fully agree. Witcher 3 is in my top 10 for sure and this feels like an excellent extention of that. The writing and combat is on par if not better in some places.
