Authoritarian government doesn't always mean bad - look at Singapore
What's more dangerous is country with bunch of war mongering lobbyists who can also influence elections (oops, sounds like USA)
> My secondary concern is the risk that powerful AI models may be misused to carry out cyberattacks or biological attacks
But you are working with DoW and Palantir, who is doing somewhat similar in other countries
> We should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment to China
Israel used banned weapons against Lebanon and Palestinians, would you support similar ban to Israelis?
> We should crack down on industrial-scale distillation operations
Should we also ban distilling public knowledge? Like using textbooks to train the model? Should rules be simple: train your model only on the data you have produced by hand?
(comment got too long, continuation)
> All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing
Why? And how do you design those tests?
For example, bombing girls school in Iran - is this allowed use according to you or not?
If not allowed use, then how do you guarantee that you don't have a separate agreement with DoW which makes it allowed use and only your model passes it?
This isn't Twitter. You can write long comments here.
thanks, its not about capabilities, but to respect the human reader who decides whether they should read the comment because its too long or to skip
Bombing that building was an accident due to it being on what was part of a military target and I'm not sure if it was ever made clear whether the building was technically dual use despite also being used as a school. Either way, bombing a bunch of school girls wasn't intentional and nobody reasonable would assume it was.
There was a time we bombed a bus or van with kids in it, but we admitted it and apologized for the mistake. Nobody wants to be bombing kids, first because they're innocent, but second because there is no military advantage to it since it's bad PR.
Many of these targets were identified before Anthropic or OpenAI even existed.
If it wasn't intentional and accident, did anyone apologize for that mistake?
Also the point is, you (Dario) can't claim morality, when he is fine doing business with entities literally bombing and killing human beings in other countries.
You are either fine with it and continue working - which Dario is doing
Or you say, I will not work with you.
For Dario, main thing is money, everything else in his article is bs
