In other Anthropic news today, I’ve been thinking about this bill that Anthropic proposed where it’s not a show-stopper if only 50 people might be killed or seriously injured:

The bill would let the government block a model’s release or use only if it poses a foreseeable, imminent risk of more than $1 billion in damages, or of killing or seriously injuring more than 50 people, according to the report.

It’s weird to even put a number on this. But also, if gun manufacturers had to meet a similar standard before putting semi-automatic rifles on the market, the world would be a better place.
