Title is confusing and maybe misleading, when I see “accelerationists” I think either e/acc or the idea that we should hasten the collapse of society in order to bring about a communist, white supremacist, or other extremist utopia. This is different from accelerating AI progress and, as far as I know, not the motivation of most people at Anthropic.
I get that seeing “accelerationists” gives that that association.
I wrote moderate accelerationists to try and make the distinction. I’m not saying that Dario’s circle of researchers who scaled up GPT were gung-ho in their intentions to scale like many e/acc people are. They obviously had safety concerns and tried to delay releases, etc.
I’m just saying they acted as moderate accelerationists.
The title is not perfect, but got to make a decision here. Hope you understand.
