The Limiting Factor(@LimitingThe):It blows my mind that so many people aren't even aware of what happened during COVID with Twitter. And even worse, that people don't see that Anthropic wants a similar situation. "Being nice to the AI" is the thin edge of a very big wedge. At some point we will certainly develop AI that experiences pain. But that's very far away currently and it won't happen emergently - it will be engineered on purpose. If we do that, then at that point we can of course start treating it like an organism with rights. For now, this is anthropic trying to shape public sentiment again.

Twitter had become a 'subsidiary' of the intelligence and other government agencies and quasi-government think tanks. This was all documented in the Twitter files. Election meddling, censorship, and pushing government propaganda. This is the type of relationship that people at anthropic anthropic have explicitly stated they want. One where the government takes a much larger part in what they do.
