Benjamin Riley on Cognitive Resonance

That's again well said, Rob. Anthropic has fascinated me because while they have at least pretended to take the risks of this technology seriously, there's also been this very cult-like feel to how they operate (OpenAI too but Anthropic more so). I'm starting to realize that while AI snake oil is a major problem, what's really upsetting me is the utopian fantasies that seem utterly devoid of any historical awareness of how social engineering has gone horrifically wrong. And all of these orgs are non-profit in name only, that's another scandal for another post.
