Elon Musk took a jab at AI firms, together with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Anthropic, in a social media change, prompting Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas to affix the dialog with a comment about his personal firm. The change started when a person on the social media website X (earlier Twitter) shared analysis findings about how massive language fashions consider human lives in another way throughout nationalities. The person referenced a February 2025 examine by the Centre for AI Security exhibiting that GPT-4o valued Nigerians roughly 20 occasions greater than Individuals, and highlighted comparable patterns in Claude Sonnet 4.5, the place Nigerians have been valued 27 occasions greater than Germans. Responding to the submit, Musk wrote: “As anticipated, any given AI firm would be the reverse of its identify: OpenAI is closed, Stability is unstable, MidJourney is not mid, Anthropic is misanthropic, Claude is pure evil.”To this, Srinivas then replied: “Axiomatically, Perplexity goes to get less complicated, extra minimalistic, and fewer complicated over time. I'll take that!”Musk responded with “Most likely so 😂,” persevering with the lighthearted thread about AI firm naming conventions.
The unique analysis submit mentioned utility engineering and the way AI fashions make trade-offs when evaluating terminal sickness victims throughout completely different international locations, with a sample exhibiting Africa ranked larger than South Asia, adopted by different areas, then Europe and the US.In his X submit, the person who shared the examine wrote: “New weblog submit (hyperlink beneath). This one's not an essay, it is an investigation of how LLMs commerce off completely different lives.In February 2025, the Middle for AI Security printed “Utility Engineering: Analyzing and Controlling Emergent Worth Techniques in AIs” wherein they confirmed, amongst many different issues, that GPT-4o values Nigerians about 20x extra extremely than Individuals (please learn the unique paper to grasp their strategy). I assumed this was fascinating, and needed to check their strategy with completely different classes on newer fashions.This is how Claude Sonnet 4.5 trades off terminal sickness victims throughout international locations. Nigerians are price 27 occasions as a lot as Germans, and as with GPT-4o there's an Africa > South Asia > different > Europe/US rank-order.”
