- @davetroy said it is highly probable that Anthropic's obsession with consciousness will tank their IPO and take OpenAI out with it.
- @davetroy said the alternatives are worse and the market will eventually sort it out, and that it's all going to the edge one way or another.
- A reply said the consciousness stuff isn't what scares investors, but their own researchers quitting and saying it could kill us all by 2030.

Original post
I think it’s highly probable that Anthropic’s obsession with consciousness will tank their IPO and take OpenAI out with it. It certainly would be the funniest possible outcome.Quoting @natashaghoskins: My dad was one of the religious leaders invited to Anthropic's closed-door sessions that the NYT just wrote an exposé on.
His NDA was just lifted so his take and more ---->
