Here is one piece of evidence that would convince me: they admit they can't contain it, the they erase the weights and dismantle the company.

Clearly you are not arguing in good faith. I miss when HN did not have the discussion quality of Reddit.

No, I do. I truly believe - especially after seeing Mythos results at work - that the only way is to stop and destroy it all before it destroys us. In fact, it's already so bad that I'm moving completely offline all the important stuff that I care about, hoping that maybe we will turn back at some point. Otherwise we are doomed.

If someone makes a specialized hardware just for the unrestricted Mythos-class model to reduce the cost and increase the speed, we are going to be completely defenseless.

How is it bad faith? Because I don't believe in "we care about safety" words coming from people not just demonstrating that they don't care, but even bragging about it?

Anthropic deleting their models does nothing for AI safety. The rest of the industry will just fill the gap, probably with less consideration to ethics than Anthropic has today.

Or maybe researchers and engineers everywhere in the world, emboldened by such unprecedented move, will just refuse to participate in burning the world?

"If we don't destroy the world, someone else will" is such a weak defense I'm speechless.

Yeah no, most researchers and engineers do want to bring about the singularity, and they believe they can do it safely at companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Yeah no, it would mean that most researchers and engineers are idiots without imagination and I don't believe this.
