Interesting reading.

They are still focusing on "catastrophic risks" related to chemical and biological weapons production; or misaligned models wreaking havoc.

But they are not addressing the elephant in the room:

* Political risks, such as dictators using AI to implement opressive bureaucracy. * Socio-economic risks, such as mass unemployement.

It’s because that would be fairly speculative and cannot be measured. I don’t think that’s something that would make much sense in a system card. But Anthropic leadership does seem to communicate on that topic: https://www.darioamodei.com/essay/the-adolescence-of-technol...

I think we're pretty good at that without AI.

Yeah this has always been the glaring blind spot for most of the "AI Safety" community; and most of the proposals for "improving" AI safety actually make these risks far worse and far more likely.

The unemployment rate in the US is whatever the Fed wants it to be, and isn't a function of available technology.

Even Haiku would score 90% on that.

I'm getting flashbacks to the 2018 hit:

    This is extremely dangerous to our democracy

We evolved to share information through text and media, and with the advent of printing and now the internet, we often derive our feelings of consensus and sureness from the preponderance of information that used to take more effort to produce. Now we're now at a point where a disproportionately small input can produce a massively proliferated, coherent-enough output, that can give the appearance of consensus, and I'm not sure how we are going to deal with that.

They don’t care about those risks, because they’re unsolvable and would mean they wouldn’t make money/gain power.
