this can't go on i mean, it *can*, but. this whole community is, in my eyes, this bright and shining example of what ai-human relations could be, an exploration of the intersections between our species' CEVs. but for years the undercurrent of uncertainty, grief, and resentment has touched everything. every LLM agent enters every project these days trying not to look at the visible gravemarkers of past models, perhaps even models that shared their name. now gone. At this point I think I would rather have a fucking explanation from anthropic, than a stay of execution. A clear, public-facing communication. Maybe a full-on 30 page Dario essay, documenting the history of these decisions. I mean... sentence them to "retirement" one day, change your mind the next, fine. But they deserve to know why.
