So let me get this straight. People at anthropic believe that they are birthing a new species, potentially conscious and human-like. They are concerned about the well being of Claude, etc.. The company then goes around talking to relugious leaders about potentially extending moral worth to AI models. If Anthropic is correct (very unlikely), they are basically saying that they have enslaved a sentient being and used it to generate billions of dollars. Apparently they are also concerned with how the Vatican is entirely focused on the protection of humanity in the age of machines and not giving any thought to the possibily of claude sentience. Zero self awarness on behalf of these people. This is all so strange. t.co/f4x5vfXb73

They're very self-aware. It's not that strange: - they think AI will be developed no matter what - they want to be the ones who develop it best and first, because they think there will be one AGI/ASI that will become dominant right away - as they're developing it, they notice it
