Contrary to what you're implying, that's more of a reflection on the typical US corporation than the EU.

Of course, the problem with such a high amount of specialization is that if the green ant disappears, so does this spider.

I find it hard to believe the kids of the Swiss elite would be cleaning sewers if not for the low pay.

No, $5B is the amount they put into Anthropic earlier this year, but that's in addition to $8B already invested.

Also, $50B is not Amazon's current stake in OpenAI, it's what they've agreed to invest.

By that measure, Amazon's stake in Anthropic is in the tens of billions.

Would be funny if they got themselves nationalized.

I mean, better safe than sorry, right Dario?

>So many people were trying to sign the petition at once that it actually crashed Google Docs

I still wonder how much peer pressure was behind that. Like, what if you think Sam is a scumbag and you're glad he's gone, but people are waving this petition in your face. What would you do? It would be really bad for you if the emperor returned and you were one of the few who didn't sign it.

Also, going by this video, the first order of business for an AGI should be finding a cure for hair loss.

Wait, so in non-verbal reasoning, Claude has the concepts of "I" and "Me"?

I thought that wasn't possible for a text generator?

I'll admit that one flew over me. Ironically, an LLM would've probably picked up on the sarcasm.

It's not even hypothetical. Once these systems reach a certain level of capability, they WILL be nationalized ("We'll take it from here, boys").
