Raising the machine
Briefly

Raising the machine
"The craft is ours, and the thinking is ours. Whatever magic lives in the human part of work, hopefully, stubbornly, stays human. A hammer doesn't shape how you think. A Large Language Model (LLM) does."
"They say it plainly and on record: we may be building one of the most dangerous technologies in human history. But it will be built. The only question is by whom, and with how much care."
"Anthropic made ethics a founding principle and hired a philosopher to write it down. Amanda Askell wrote her PhD on ethics, left OpenAI when she saw what she saw, and now leads the team responsible for Claude's character."
AI tools like Large Language Models are evolving technologies that impact human thought and work. Understanding their foundations is crucial. Anthropic, led by Dario Amodei, emphasizes ethical AI development, acknowledging the potential dangers of their technology. Amanda Askell, a philosopher, plays a key role in shaping Claude's ethical framework, known as the Constitution. The focus is on careful construction of AI rather than halting progress, ensuring that human values are preserved in the process.
