I think it's political. Certain companies are exploiting as much as possible to push the boogeyman of AI for regulation.

It's exactly this.

If the "scary Chinese open weights models" can do "dangerous cyber", then we might see regulations spring up against open weights sooner than later.

I hate Anthropic and OpenAI. As companies and leadership, anyway.

Dario and Sam are 100% to blame for this. They're trying to turn us all into jobless slaves, sex workers, and Squid Game pawns.

The only good future is open weights. They're trying their damnedest to keep us under boot.

I hope the Chinese companies (and I say this as a patriotic American) slay these two companies and destroy their moats.

In my mind, the two most dangerous people in the world are Dario and Sam.

We need open weights to win.

Speak for yourself, I don't think there is a market for many of us as the latter.

Please enjoy some time out in the nature, and chill out.

These times are not ideal but what can we do other than just take it as it comes? All the hate and rage is not good for your health.

Why do you think Dario is dangerous? I think he's genuine on the dangers of AI capabilities moving faster than AI alignment.

Which is a great example of what makes him dangerous: with the exception of Sam Altman he's arguably the single person most responsible for the current capabilities arms race.

Anthropic has pushed the frontier harder and faster than OpenAI or anyone else in the last few years. Beginning with Anthropic's founding to quickly raise huge amounts of cash with a pitch to investors to rapidly leapfrog ChatGPT in scale, and culminating with Mythos/Fable which carved out a whole new tier of super models.

He's always talked big about Anthropic prioritising safety and their "Responsible Scaling" but his words just simply don't align with reality while they keep going bigger, faster, until only OpenAI could briefly and half-heartedly claim near parity at the top (while cutting corners in safety because the existential threat to their market position is far more pressing to any corporation than some abstract risk for humanity).

Whether it's wilful cognitive dissonance, cynical opportunism, financial greed or something else, that kind of self-assured moral superiority paired with his real world record of self-interested decision making for Anthropic's market position is a big red flag.

Because his solution is to block competition and capture all the market through regulation.

Sam, I'll grant you, is probably among the top 10 most dangerous, but Dario? The only thing he's done to piss people off is to predict, correctly, that releasing too-powerful models too-quickly would cause havoc and chaos. This prediction actively hurts his company! It actively harms his chances of a huge exit! It actively raises the probability that Anthropic and OpenAI get nationalized and treated in the same way as, for instance, the nuclear program!

By comparison, do you think the Chinese models are going to be trained in such a manner that you enjoy the society that results? What makes you think that?

China cares about about stability way more than the US even, they aren't going to be big on AI models upsetting the governments power, and mass cyber attacks could do that.

At the end of the day we are going to have to realize AI is both dangerous and governments are going to control it. Worse if you start making and releasing your own dangerous models the 4chan party van is going to visit you.

Your thinking is dangerous. Do you work for Anthropic?

AI is dangerous when these powers are being hobbled up by the select few. These systems threaten to put us all out of work. I refuse to be a slave to a company or a government that is taking away our livelihoods, scraping up our earnings potentials, then seeking to muzzle us and put us in jails with no rights.

I would rather burn down all of tech than have AI be owned by the elites.

Your thinking is a threat to all of our liberties.

		>I would rather burn down all of tech than have AI be owned by the elites. Then you better get your torches out now. >I refuse to be a slave to a company or a government that is taking away our livelihoods Don't worry, governments are fervently working on AI drones to take away your life when you get really upset about this. Oh, and they are also working at AI to detect when you write all this online, and track you down then monitor you on things like flock cameras. As they say, you'll be the first with your back against the wall when the revolution comes, I likely will be beside you for being too subversive. >AI is dangerous when Incorrect, AI is just dangerous. It doesn't matter who has it. The more powerful it becomes the more dangerous it gets. So, as you can tell I am an AI doomer. ---- Now, don't get me wrong, I want freedom for me, I want freedom for other people. I do not believe the technologies we're developing are conductive to having any freedom at all. Hell, if we're lucky we'll be slaves instead of all of us dead, including the select few. >Your thinking is a threat to all of our liberties. Lol, now this is kind of funny. "I want freedom to think whatever I want, but you, you shouldn't think like that!". Careful or you'll max out your irony meter. Anyway, "My kind of thinking" is just next ____ prediction. I see what is happening in the world around us, and based on the shape of that probability I see what is going to happen. No, you and I are not getting unlimited AI to do whatever we want. Yes, governments are going to lock down the shit out of AI for end users. Yes, governments are going to declare advanced LLMs munitions. Balls in your court, better think of what your next move is.
