Anthropic Claude宪法模仿1984广告;历史学家警告‘人造国家’威胁民主
哈佛历史学家jill lepore认为,像anthropic这样的ai实验室正在形成一个‘人造国家’以取代民主政府,警告llm的宪法掩盖了危险的政治幻想。
harvard historian and new Yorker writer jill lepore released 'the rise and fall of the artificial state,' arguing that companies like anthropic are effectively forming new governments through tools like the 'claude constitution.' lepore draws a line from the 1984 macintosh ad to modern ai safety efforts, critiquing leaders like sam altman for suggesting an 'ai president.' she cites e.m. forster’s 1909 story 'the machine stops' as a blueprint for this trend, suggesting that the tech industry's push to make government more efficient via ai is actually an old, dangerous fantasy of replacing democracy.
