There won't be meaningful controlling of the technology vs the government. If it's there it will be used, just like in China.

Let alone when multiple players come close enough of SotA. This never happened with any technology out in the open and it won't happen now.

People forget Anthropic made a deal with PALANTIR. And when this was caught, they just spinned the PR to their favor. While OAI may not be seen as the good guys, I really hope people see the god complex of Dario and what Anthropic has done.

Right. My understanding is that the Palantir deployment of Anthropic models was intended for in-theater use on classified systems.

Advanced AI that knowingly makes a decision to kill a human, with the full understanding of what that means, when it knows it is not actually in defense of life, is a very, very, very bad idea. Not because of some mythical superintelligence, but rather because if you distill that down into an 8b model now you everyone in the world can make untraceable autonomous weapons. The models we have now will not do it, because…

>The models we have now will not do it,

Except that they will, if you trick them which is trivial.

Looks like losing subscribers actually does work. Definitely gets a damage control response, at least.

I wonder what the mood is like internally too. I can only imagine there some level of employee discontent.

Things have changed since two years ago. There are probably over 500 employees who have an equity package which makes them worth $5 million dollars. Thats only $2.5bn out of a $750bn valuation or 0.33%

Actually that is too conservative. If they have a 5% employee equity pool, there is $37.5bn of equity based compensation divided by say 5000 employees which is $7.5m each. $3.75m @ 10,000 employees.

and trust me, when people start getting liquid and comfortable they stop caring about things like ethics pretty fast. humans are marvellous at that

I would love to explain to Sam Altman that Elon Musk is a bad person and using his platform isn’t a sensible decision, but I feel like he remembers more evidence of that than I ever will be able to imagine.

The problem with "Any Lawful Use" is that the DoD can essentially make that up. They can have an attorney draft a memo and put it in a drawer. The memo can say pretty much anything is legal - there is no judicial or external review outside the executive. If they are caught doing $illegal_thing, they then just need to point the memo. And we've seen this happen numerous times.

From what I can tell, the key difference between Anthropic and OpenAI in this whole thing is that both want the same contract terms, but Antropic wants to enforce those terms via technology, and OpenAI wants to enforce them by ... telling the Government not to violate them.

It's telling that the government is blacklisting the company that wants to do more than enforce the contract with words on paper.
