This statement (and the entire post) couldn't possibly be more two-faced.
Open-weights models by definition have "dangerous capabilities" (according to Anthropic's own definitions of "dangerous", not mine), you can't bake in guardrails that can't be finetuned out.
If you wonder why this is written as an opening to a list of reasons that advocate for banning the open weight models, it’s because
This is so short-sighted given that the US needs China equipment for.. everything. They are part of the supply chain needed for building the machines that build these very chips.
Not even Anthropic's own Claude believes that.
> All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing What happens if a model fails the test? Surely one can use Kimi K3 for evil, somehow or other. What now? "Mandatory safety testing" implies consequences for failing, yet Dario has nothing to say about what the consequences should be. He says he doesn't advocate a ban but it's hard to imagine what his alternative would be if…
Dario has like three 'paranoias' / strong-motivating-concerns 1) LLMs turning into Skynet 2) China as geopolitical competitor 3) Claude being 'distilled' by competitors (this has led Anthropic to cut service to various American companies too from time to time -- OpenAI, xAI etc have been cut off from using Claude for coding in the past) So this post just reiterates that these 3 concerns fuse together in his mind when…
Is he actually concerned about China being a geopolitical competitor or is that just the most logical position for him to take as CEO of a US corporation with national security implications?
This constant whining from anthropic about distillation attacks continues to be rich given the amount of stolen data that went into any Claude variant.
