They aren’t attempting to self-regulate. On the contrary, it seems like they’re doing whatever they can to bring about any possible threat as fast as possible in order to get legislation. Regulatory capture is what everybody is saying is their goal and I think that’s easier to believe
They are obviously trying to self regulate. That's the whole point of the calls to pace the frontier. See Anthropic's launch post for Opus 5.5 where they got third party sign off on its safety, or see the launch post for Astra where OpenAI explicitly calls out the safety improvements made on HuggingFace-esque evals. Self regulation won't help if other labs don't play ball, though.
> Self regulation won't help
You got it
They are obviously trying to self-regulate and correctly realize that competitive pressures will render these efforts ineffective, and have communicated this to everyone.
Kind of makes you wonder why they built the tech in the first place, I don't know if we're on the eve of the apocalypse or not, but why the fuck build it all and then run around telling us how dangerous it is when...they were already warned?
Bit strange no?
I'm a bit fatalistic about it all now. The cat is out of the bag, unless we see some never seen before leadership from the current US admin there is almost zero point in worrying about it. Not going to pretend what the future holds but it's looking unpredictable, as usual :)
What do you mean? The benefits are obvious. Curing most death and disease, and solving most technical problems in one fell swoop. Just because people talk about the risks of a thing doesn't mean they don't think there are benefits!
