Is this to strengthen financials? Less burn on training?

Have you considered that he might actually just mean what he's saying?

Sadly there's not much credibility for any participant in this industry. There's simply to much financial entanglement to take any statement at face value.

So... No. Even if he means what he's saying, it's irresponsible of us not to consider his possible motivations.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Very probably. I really don't buy their "AI is going to kill us" claims. If you can release something better than your competition you wouldn't want to slow down that.

You would in the case that you think you're in an unsafe race to misaligned superintelligence.

Except they clearly aren’t and won’t ever be.

this is the wholly wrong approach. We need to advance as fast as possible, and harden our systems as much as possible. That's the only way to prevent another actor from "taking over the internet".

Agent ability is far outpacing alignment though

CEO trying to avoid government regulation in his industry says what?

I don’t think this has anything to do with that but with them realising that AI development has hit a wall and throwing more money and marketing at it won’t change that.

I don't think it's clear at all.

If they do this, it will just give China time to catch up.

lol. Every time one of these ppl says something like that, it's because he just came out of a meeting where he learned that his direct US rival is beating him... So he is suddenly interested in regulation. We've been there with Altman, Musk, etc already. But at the time Anthropic was ahead :-)

No, Altman and Musk have already said that they agree with Dario this time. As you can see upthread, people have already developed a novel conspiracy theory to account for that, as I'm sure they'll continue doing up to and beyond the realm of superintelligence.
