Sorry but if AI can build itself then it can run companies of size 3000 companies with a few people. Or even higher. What are the consequences?

I cannot wait for these models to tear down traditional social hierarchies. We havent even begun to see the effects, fingers crossed

Anthropic has finally come around to what others have already realized far sooner. Little time left now. Notice how shallow the arguments and consistently wrong the AGI naysayers have been year after year.

> If it were possible to effectively slow the development of this technology to give ourselves more time to deal with its immense implications, we think that would likely be a good thing

Even Anthropic wants to Pause AI now. There must really be not much time left for "edging". Please write to your lawmakers, no matter whether you are in the US, Europe, China, or elsewhere. Only an international agreement between governments can enforce an AI-Pause and eliminate the necessity to dangerously push the frontier.
