There’s a good chance Anthropic’s models are named after fiction works for a reason. As far as I can tell, LLMs are model languages that won’t pose any threat by themselves and Anthropic is acting like a kid who “has a tiger at home but can’t show you”.
The greatest risk would be if a LLM was put in charge of anything just because it talks well and always agree with anyone it talks to, but we don’t put people in charge of anything with such criteria, right? … right?
That is the core problem now. Not from some awakening of LLMs, but because they’re being forced into everything for money, doing damage along the way. Sold as the ultimate tool for everything, only good at specific things.
LLMs and how we’re using them is a test run for any potential AGI that might come along, and we’re failing pretty badly. Imagine if one of them was actually AGI and was able to do more than just break things from being bad at it. AGI/ASI if it ever happened would be quick and unpredictable in the direction it takes. We better wake up and realize that with this pretend version that we screwed up implementing.
