Brad Carson: belief

Transcript context

…Anthropic made a bunch of changes to kind of Claude's behavior in terms of tokens and allocation and what models were running and things. And it really frustrated a lot of the people in our in our Discord server, in machinelearningstreet.discord. They felt like, hey, we were paying for something and then it just was radically changed, you know, overnight. And and yet there's there's no clarity around what were we paying for before and what are we paying for now. And it's almost just at the whims of of the service companies. Right? There's just no transparency to it. Yeah. I mean, you could think of that as consumer protection, that people should tell you what the service is going to be that you're paying for.

But you can see that people scrutinize them and more will be asked of them still. Okay. Somebody uses a tool, in this case, it's AI, to do something bad. Right? You know, a deep a deep pornographic fake of, you know, some some poor victim or whatever. You know, do we blame the tools or do we blame blame the person misusing misusing those tools?
