Hello and welcome to this week's better off-line monologue.

I'm your host, Ed Citron.

Now, I want to be abundantly clear about something. It is illegal to this. Let's not all sign.

Now, I want to be abundantly clear about something.

It is illegal to throw a Molotov cocktail at anyone, and it's morally objectionable to do so.

I explicitly and fundamentally object to the recent acts of violence against Sam Altman.

These acts of violence are not something I endorse in any way.

I'm also glad that nobody was hurt.

It's also morally repugnant for Sam Mortman to somehow suggest by stating that we should de-escalate the rhetoric and tactics around AI criticism that the careful, thoughtful, determined

and eagerly fair work of Ronan Farrow and Andrew Morantz, is in any way responsible for these acts

of violence.

Doing so is a deliberate and cynical attempt to chill the air around criticism of AI and its

associated companies.

I do, however, agree with Mr. Altman that the rhetoric around AI does need to change.

Both he and Mr. Amadea Vanropic need to immediately stop overstating the

capabilities of large language models. Mr. Rortman and Mr. Amaday should not discuss being

scared of their models as they have both done so since 2023, or being uncomfortable, that

men such as they are in control, unless they wish to shut down their services, or... They should also definitely not say that their models are conscious or suggest that they have emotions either.

Anthropic is particularly guilty of this.
