The only widely publicized AI orchestrated cyberattack in recent memory came from a closed-weight model, and the only widely publicized defense from said attack came from an open-weight Chinese model. What do you make of that? > I don’t think that an AI monopoly or duopoly should be allowed to exist either Monopolies have always been allowed to exist, even welcomed. People have gotten confused, but there is a big difference between a monopoly and an illegal monopoly. Deciding what should and shouldn’t be allowed to exist as determined by regulatory bodies and not consumers goes against democratic principles (though it is sometimes necessary, such as with drugs). I don’t think I want to live in a world where police decides what brand of chips I can eat on the sole basis of the chips having gotten too popular. Do you? | ||||||||||||||

> What do you make of that? I don’t make anything of it. That’s only been reported because it came from OpenAI and was a frontier model, incidents involving open models are probably happening but are not being widely reported, and those are happening with less capable models, so they aren’t successful enough yet to make headlines. I draw that inference from the amount of AI bot traffic which is now saturating the internet, AI driven attacks almost certainly have increased in like manner. > Monopolies have always been allowed to exist Antitrust law also exists, but is weaker than it should be. The customer doesn’t win from the existence of monopolies, they go against one of the basic premises of capitalism. Assuming you believe capitalism is a good thing which is its own conversation. > I don’t think I want to live in a world where police decides what brand of chips I can eat on the sole basis of the chips having gotten too popular. I really don’t know how you ended up with this as an example, did anyone say this, or anything close to it? | ||||||||||||||
