> it is better to grant 10 bad men access to information than to deny that access to 1 good one.

I disagree when it comes to a tool as powerful as AI. Most good people are not even using AI. They are paying attention to their families and raising their children, living real life.

Bad people are extremely interested in AI. They are using it to deceive at scales humanity has never before seen or even comprehended. They are polluting the wellspring of humanity that used to be the internet and turning it into a dump of machine-regurgitated slop.

Yeah, it’s like saying you should be able to install anything on your phone with a url and one click.

You enrich <0.1% of honest power users who might benefit from that feature… and 100% of bad actors… at the expense of everyone else.

It’s just not a good deal.

1. Those people don’t need frontier models. The slop is slop in part because it’s garbage usually generated by cheap models.

2. It doesn’t matter. Most people at some level have a deontological view of what is right and wrong. I believe it’s wrong to build mass-market systems that can be so hostile to their users interests. I also believe it’s wrong for some SV elite to determine what is “unsafe information”.

Most “dangerous information” has been freely accessible for years.
