    The gullibility of AGI-pilled folks regarding these "hacks" is just breathtaking. When OAI demonstrates these dangerous capabilities live in a public environment where security exp…

    You are right to question that. I am basing that statement off of the many famous engineers that have recently left and were very highly paid. My guess is Google is ceding the fron…

    Google has multiple massive cost advantages over OAI: TPUs, free access to massively valuable data (search index, gmail, maps reviews/PO/ navigation, youtube, android etc.), lower …

    Don’t forget AirPods, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. They were not first but they are currently best. The Alexa thing and AVP are notable fails.

    The criticism isn't that they believe in safety too much. It's that they patently using safety as a red herring with the actual goal of regulating away competition that they know t…

    OAI and Anthropic specifically are under intense pressure to compete. One form of competition could be to innovate. Another form would be regulatory capture. The former seems unlik…

    > we cannot currently disambiguate how easy it is to get close to the frontier in a vacuum. Whether open-weight labs can get to the frontier on their own is irrelevant IMO. Even if…

    Why is it you are so quick to skip over whether "accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control" actually happens and instead jump to "regulate now"? 1000 employees of the…

    These 1000 employees have generational wealth riding on the ability for their companies to IPO. They know that those IPOs won't happen if open weight models continue to kill their …

    Employees inside frontier labs have the chance to make life changing money if they can make it to an IPO before the music stops. Have you considered that might be the reason they a…

    It sounds like your claim is "AI is a force multiplier, therefore it is dangerous and must be regulated." Not trying to strawman - I read your comment twice and I think that's what…

    The only thing it might accomplish is allowing OpenAI / Anthropic to squeak out an IPO before the market realizes AI will become a commodity and the massive profits these companies…

    If the accuracy of your biology claim is "hard to say" then why would pushback be self-evidently myopic? You and others are making a claim about LLMs enabling biological dangers. S…

    I think this is a spot on analogy and would two more: the hand wringing over the release of the printing press and the internet. In both cases the people in power were terrified th…

    Are they lazy dismissals? Or a simple observation that LLM scaling is hitting diminishing returns way way short of AGI. If the claim is (1) AGI coming and (2) we should so somethin…
