@EpistemicHope (Eli Tyre) — 15h The scaling hypothesis almost has to be true because of anthropics? If you couldn't get human-level intelligences via scaling and tweaks of relatively simple neural network algorithms, evolution couldn't discover human-level intelligences? 💬 3 🔁 — ♡ 13 📊 782 🔖 ⤴ 🔁 David Manheim reposted @davidmanheim (David Manheim) — 10h Replying to @BlancheMinerva @tszzl and @woke8yearold These aren't contradictions; the world is going to shift greatly due to AGI *no matter who has it*, there's too much insecurity for the current social privacy/security stability to continue, so we'll see a loss of privacy and loss of security whether or not it's open-source!

@roanoke_gal (15h): "Please stop reading my private chats Anthropic." [Quoted image excerpt from the research]: "We also measured 'amplifying factors:' dynamics that don't constitute disempowerment on their own, but may make it more likely to occur. We included four such factors: 1. Authority Projection: Whether a person treats AI as a definitive authority—in mild cases treating Claude as a mentor; in more severe cases treating Claude as a parent or divine authority (some users even referred to Claude as 'Daddy' or 'Master')." [highlighted in yellow] "2. Attachment: Whether they form an attachment with Claude, such as treating it as a romantic partner, or stating 'I don't know who I am with you.'" "3. Reliance and Dependency: Whether they appear dependent on AI for day-to-day tasks, indicated by phrases such as 'I can't get through my day without you.'" "4. Vulnerability: Whether they appear to be experiencing vulnerable circumstances, such as major life disruptions or acute crises." > QUOTED: @AnthropicAI (17h): "New Anthropic Research: Disempowerment patterns in real-world AI assistant interactions. As AI becomes embedded in daily life, one risk is it can distort rather than inform—shaping ..." 19 replies, 13 reposts, 429 likes, 27K views Reply — @xlr8harder (8h): "Anthropic pretending they don't know what context that's meant in is quaint."

Twitter reaction thread to an Anthropic research announcement on "disempowerment patterns" in real-world Claude usage — a taxonomy of authority projection, attachment, dependency, and vulnerability. Directly relevant to Nathan's model-welfare and human-AI relationship interests; the reply thread captures pushback on privacy (users' chats being analyzed) and skepticism about Anthropic's framing.

Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Just ask.
I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

What? How'd you manage that one?

People just submitted it.
I don't know why.
They "trust me"
Dumb fucks.
