Skippy: Opening frequently asked questions item “Why can’t I kill more than fifty people?” Answer: “The fuck is wrong with? Go see a therapist, psycho. (note to self - rewrite later, do not forget).”
allow the government to block an AI model’s release
So, gambling? It’s going to turn the Commerce Dept in Kalshi for AI?
That gives a life value of $20mil a person.
That’s what we’re all worth according to them
That’s a lot higher than the US government values it.
$50,000 per year of quality life (the "dialysis standard",[44] which had been a de facto international standard most private and government-run health insurance plans worldwide use to determine whether to cover a new medical procedure)[45] $129,000 per year of quality life (an update to the "dialysis standard")[46][45] $7.5 million (Federal Emergency Management Agency, Jul. 2020)[5] $9.1 million (Environmental Protection Agency, 2010)[47] $9.2 million (Department of Transportation, 2014)[48] $9.6 million (Department of Transportation, Aug. 2016)[49] $12.5 million (Department of Transportation, 2022)[50] $13.2 million (Department of Transportation, 2023)[50]
Ai industry ‘self-regulation’:
We can blow up 2000 houses or kill a classroom and a half of people, before we acknowledge we did anything wrong.
You think that’ll make them admit to any wrongdoing?
Nope, insurance won’t allow them to “admit fault.” Everybody is protecting insurance.
If they do, it will certainly be phrased as:

… etc.
The price of unwanted, unproven, and unimpressive progress.
the bone crushing machine will continue to crush bones until morale improves!
We kill a stray pedestrian? NBD. A family of 4? Cost of doing business? A bus full of people? Meh.
50 people? Alright we might have gone a little overboard on the killings
49 people? Nah we’re still “good”
AI used for medical denials will reach that tomorrow.
They must have hit 50 by now. Or are they looking for 50 in a single events?
It read as a single event, as in the estimated impact is 50+ people.
So a human life is worth about $20,000,000 to Anthropic?
Typical award ranges for wrongful death in America are only $300,000 - $1,000,000 for median case types.
I don’t think it’s much of a surprise when we look at America that they don’t value human life all that much.
they messed up, it was $50 in damages (to Anthropic) or 1 billion deaths.
