They'd tease us with solutions to hard problems, with code that is orders of intelligence higher than any human or public model can grok.
That'd turn all the whining to begging real quick.
One of two outcomes are true in this scenario: 1) this is unrealistic fear-mongering or 2) we're all fucked.
I just don't see how our solution to this can be export controls or bans. If the fear of a bioweapon engineered by an open weight AI is a legitimate threat, our only option is to develop effective countermeasures (and perhaps the same AI will assist with protecting). Open weights are not going away and pretending like some sort of "ban" will prevent bad actors from accessing them is a fairy tale.
Done by who?
Hate to break it to you Dario but the way things stand right now the world at large trusts the Chinese establishment a lot more than the American one.
Of course you didn’t advocate for the bans of open weight models. I will concede that.
It’s only the at you did literally everything else that you can to eliminate competition because otherwise there is no moat.
And half of the US economy is propped up by this AI bubble.
This isn’t about China doing evil things with models, most of which that you accuse of China - you and the US have already done and are doing.
The most obvious one being double-tapping a girls school.
Anthropic models directly integrated into Palantir’s Maven. The blood is on your hands.
Here’s something to chew on, maybe China is looking to integrate AI into its military and weaponise it as a direct response to the US doing that first.
So please, spare us the moralising.
As a closing thought: who the fuck even gave you the mandate to be the arbiter and judge of right and wrong, evil and good?
To everyone here pushing for total proliferation of open models -- what should be done about open weight bioweapon and cyber-offense capabilities? Is it simply the cost of freedom that we should allow attackers to access these tools? The OpenAI / Hugging Face incident shows what a GPT 5.6 level model can do off the leash; within ~6 months, open weight models will match this and every bad actor under the sun will be a…
I was a genetic engineer for ~20 years and have worked on frontier LLMs for the last 8. I used to engineer viral vectors and studied how to evade human immune systems for gene therapies... The biorisk scenarios that the AI safety folks flog are fever-dreamed fantasies that have only the most tenuous connection to biological reality. As someone who cares about the real bio-risks of natural pathogens, I get pretty tire…
As an expert, could you also provide your arguments please?
And now, here we are:
> Anthropic has never advocated for a ban on open-weights models.
> ... preventing AI biological weapons ...
