I find it hard to believe the kids of the Swiss elite would be cleaning sewers if not for the low pay.

No, $5B is the amount they put into Anthropic earlier this year, but that's in addition to $8B already invested.

Also, $50B is not Amazon's current stake in OpenAI, it's what they've agreed to invest.

By that measure, Amazon's stake in Anthropic is in the tens of billions.

Banning white people would reduce it by a much greater amount, at least in North America.

>So many people were trying to sign the petition at once that it actually crashed Google Docs

I still wonder how much peer pressure was behind that. Like, what if you think Sam is a scumbag and you're glad he's gone, but people are waving this petition in your face. What would you do? It would be really bad for you if the emperor returned and you were one of the few who didn't sign it.

Also, going by this video, the first order of business for an AGI should be finding a cure for hair loss.
