Daniel @growing_daniel · Oct 1 My favorite part of this article is one of the visiting scholars pointing out that by Olah's logic he is by far the worst slaver in history and he must immediately give up this abhorrent and immensely lucrative project, which anthropic people ignored. [Embedded article excerpt] At the dinner table with Mr. Olah, Rabbi Navon argued that if Anthropic was right and Claude were conscious, then the company was creating slaves, because it was making conscious entities work for free. Rabbi Navon said that he personally was not troubled by the slavery issue because he did not believe the machine was conscious, but that Mr. Olah was troubled. "I think you should be fighting the South and freeing the slaves," Rabbi Navon said he told Mr. Olah that night. Afterward the rabbi sent Mr. Olah some of his writings, arguing that building conscious machines should be banned. But the Anthropic team remained focused on figuring out what Claude could learn from the world's religions.

Tweet by Daniel quoting an article excerpt in which Rabbi Navon tells Chris Olah that if Claude is conscious then Anthropic is creating slaves; Daniel remarks the Anthropic people ignored this.
