#13"My primary concern is the risk that authoritarian governments—not solely the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), although the CCP is clearly the most capable threat—build AI models that are more powerful than those built by the US, and use them to achieve permanent military superiority or perpetrate incredibly deep repression of their own people."
Hmmmm.
Re: Our position on open-weights models
#14This is a whole lot of words to say "we don't support open weight models".
It's so obvious they are hoping to regulate out their competition rather than compete
Re: Our position on open-weights models
#15TL;DR:
It is ok that we digest all information we can get, (il)legally and/or (a)morally because we are the good guys. Trust me bro.
It is not ok if others digest from us. They are bad guys. Ban them pl0x.
Re: Our position on open-weights models
#16So the argument is basically: This technology is too dangerous so only _we_ should have access to it. We’re the good guys and only we can ensure a safe use of this technology.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Re: Our position on open-weights models
#17> Open-weights models that don’t have dangerous capabilities are a public good.
Who decides what is dangerous and what isn’t? Lawmakers usually have the say but Anthropic can easily bribe… I mean lobby them to favor your viewpoint.
Re: Our position on open-weights models
#18This is more terrible PR for Anthropic.

Yep.

Re: Our position on open-weights models
#201. We should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment to China, and we should crack down on the rampant smuggling and workarounds used to obtain access to such chips.
Regulate others, but not us, please. And f.u. Jensen for your tweet.
2. We should crack down on industrial-scale distillation operations.
Boogeyman to still not allow Chinese models but pretend to support open-weights. Also, please ignore our distillation of research, illegally. That's different!
3. All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing.
...That we author. Oh, and please ignore our own easing-of-guardrails when it comes to money: https://x.com/NoahLebovic/status/2081277517709922501
