AI Researcher QUITS, Sounds The Alarm, Says AI Will KILL US ALL
"In fact, the other day I took a 20-year-old game with 40,000 lines of action script from Flash, loaded into Claude, and said, "Convert this to JavaScript." At first said, "That's a hefty task. How about I make you a new game?" No."
Tim Pool gives a first-person account of loading a roughly 40,000-line ActionScript/Flash game into Anthropic’s Claude and asking it to convert the code to JavaScript, saying the model initially suggested making a new game instead.
