I'd prefer to see board (or executive) level signatories over lay employees -- the people who can enforce enterprise policy rather than just voice their opinions -- but this is encouraging to see nonetheless. I can't help but notice that Grok/X is not part of this initiative, though. I realize that frontier models are really coming from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, but it feels like someone is going to give in to t…

Without having someone knowledgeable enough to build and operate them, AI models are worthless to the C-suite.

The obvious solution is to use AI to build and operate them. If AI is as intelligent as the hype claims it shouldn't be an issue. It's not as if the goal wasn't to get rid of workers anyway. Why not start now?

No. It is much more than this. If I sell red widgets that I make by hand to the government, I won't be allowed to use Anthropic to help me write my web-site.

You’re just restating the implication of the rule, but the rule is as I stated. That’s the point of having such a rule.

"We hope our leaders will..." I realize things are moving quickly, and the stakes are high here, but thinking about what happens if the hopes are not met might be a next step.

So much for the hope with leaders such as Sam and Dario

Scaling has hit a wall and will not get us to AGI. Open-source models are only a couple of months behind closed models, and the same level of capability will require smaller and smaller models in the future. This is where open research can help: make the models smaller ASAP. I think it's likely that we'll be able to get something human-level to run on a single 16GB GPU before the end of the decade.

> human-level to run on a single 16GB GPU before the end of the decade. That's apparently about 6k books' worth of data.

For the weights and temporary state, yes. It doesn't sound like a lot until you remember that your DNA is about 600 books worth of data by the same metric.

All they did was say they didn’t want their company to do something. They never said they had the power to ensure that.

I am not a fan of Anthropic guys, but this time I stand with it. We all should.

It is a rough precedent that the government can force private citizens to build weapons for them.

The government has always had monopoly over violence.

Not only in the US, but everywhere else there is a government.

Arthropic is trying to make that a corporate prerogative, which is why its causing such a stir.

You’re right.

The people who actually know stuff about the world are reality TV stars, Fox News hosts, and podcasters just asking questions.

Those are the people with actual knowledge.
