The "too dangerous to release" line was definitely a marketing stunt. OpenAI already used the same playbook with GPT-2 in 2019, and some of the same people involved back then are now doing it again at Anthropic with Mythos. Same safety-branding DNA, different company, and people are falling for it again.

its pretty obvious they just dont have the compute for it.

... and the safety argument is a great way of saying "no" disguised as a "yes, if ..." to your prospects.

My posts* got to the first spot on hackernews couple of times. Never once it broke down like that. And why would it, it's just a bunch of html and css files served through (free) vercel (don't think it matters). I wonder what do people run their blogs these days, so they fail under the pressure so easily. * https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=yanist.com

It's WordPress, which is a great CMS but can quickly crumble under load when using cheap hosting.

So I assume it's because it's not statically build, but requires a DB connection all the time?

Cheap shared hosting will throttle sites which get too much traffic.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The goal for anthropic is safe AGI. A) this model is dangerous in the hands of consumers. B)They do not want China to train on these models.

"Safe" for who?

For the ruling class. Cattle classes are not people in their eyes.

Yes, with the recent waves of AI scrapers I have noticed on my own WordPress websites that the DB seems to the weak point when under load. Cache plugins can help a lot with this.

When your logo is AI, your illustrations are AI, and you profile pic is AI, I'm going to assume the text is AI too and won't read it.

Now imagine that your work specs are generated by an AI agent that the EM is using.

Do you still care about the work?
