From the NYT:
Breaking News: Anthropic said it halted potential plots by scientists who used its A.I. models to do research that could have helped develop biological weapons.
Is that supposed to make us feel better?

Better than not identifying it.

Though a lot of these AI checks are a pain in the ass when trying to use AI to rapidly search the toxicology literature. It defaults to suicide prevention warnings instead of delivering the info. So there may be plenty of unplanned knock on effects.

This is a thought provoking essay on the AI topic, arguing the possibility that AGI is already here but we’re unable to recognize it because it is in the form of a untold number of collaborating individual AI agents each fulfilling a role effectively equivalent to that of a neuron in a human brain. A hive mind of sorts. I can’t say that the essay is necessarily right on the mark, but I think it is worth giving a read:
