AFAIK this is the document that talks about GPT-2 being dangerous: https://openai.com/index/better-language-models/

Here are some direct quotes:

“We can also imagine the application of these models for malicious purposes , including the following (or other applications we can’t yet anticipate):

* Generate misleading news articles

* Impersonate others online

* Automate the production of abusive or faked content to post on social media

* Automate the production of spam/phishing content”

“Due to concerns about large language models being used to generate deceptive, biased, or abusive language at scale, we are only releasing a much smaller version of GPT‑2 along with sampling code (opens in a new window). ”

Where is the ridiculous part? The fear mongering part? The epistemically weak part? Show me.

Nice try Dario.

Alignment is a real and valuable discussion topic. The GP fake tweetstorm is not the correct approach, is my point

    You said this: "Screams of propaganda. Sama saying GPT-2 is too dangerous to release…all over again."

    So show me Sam's "too dangerous to release" propaganda for GPT-2.
