#3I’m okay with this. They mostly complained about nonsense or nonexistent problems. Maybe they can stop “aligning” their models now
Re: Meta disbanded its Responsible AI team
#4Seems like something that should exist as a specialist knowledge team within an existing compliance team i.e. guided by legal concerns primarily.

#5Because Meta is releasing their models to the public, I consider them the most ethical company doing AI at scale.
Keeping AI models closed under the guise of “ethics”, is I think the most unethical stance as it makes people more dependent on the arbitrary decisions, goals, and priorities of big companies, instead being allowed to define “alignment” for themselves.

#6Safety for AI is like making safe bullets or safe swords or safe shotguns.
The reason why there's so much emphasis on this is liability. That's it. Otherwise there's really no point.
It's the psychological aspect of blame that influences the liability. If I wanted to make a dirty bomb it's harder to blame google for it if I found the results through google, easier to blame AI for it if I found the results from an LLM. Mainly because the data was transferred from the servers directly to me when it's an LLM. But the logical route of getting that information is essentially the same.
So because of this companies like Meta (who really don't give a shit) spend so much time emphasizing on this safety bs. Now I'm not denigrating meta for not giving a shit, because I don't give a shit either.
Kitchen knives can kill people folks. Nothing can stop it. And I don't give a shit about people designing safety into kitchen knives anymore than I give a shit about people designing safety into AI. Pointless.

It's more like making safe nukes. One person can do a lot more damage with AI than they can with a gun.

#9When moneys out and theres a fire going on (at openai), its the best moment to close departments that were solely for virtue signaling :/
Re: Meta disbanded its Responsible AI team
#10I honestly believe the best to make AI responsibly is to make it open source. That way no single entity has total control over it, and researchers can study them to better understand how they can be used nefariously as well as in a good way—doing that allows us to build defenses to minimize the risks, and reap the benefits. Meta is already doing that, but other companies and organizations should do that as well.
