🚨 Anthropic is no longer being subtle. Their new blog post says the next phase of AI progress could be far more dramatic in the next 2 years. “Extremely powerful AI... is coming far sooner than many think.” 🚀 [image]

This is a strong founding team, and it's good to see Anthropic continue to address the prospective economic and societal impacts of AI head on - I expect this team to think to a scale consistent with Anthropic's AI expectations (which most of academia still is not). Glad to see

We believe being forewarned is being forearmed. The Anthropic Institute will tell the world what we are seeing and expecting from the technology we build. It will lead new research into the challenges posed by more powerful AI, and partner with others to address them.

Powerful AI offers vast upsides in science, development, and human agency. But the continued rapid progress of the technology may also create new challenges, including abrupt economic changes and broad societal impacts.
