So the idea with differential safety development is that we want to speedup safe AI timelines as much as possible while slowing down unsafe AI timelines as much as possible. I worry that this development isn't great when viewed through this lens. Lets say that DARPA, CAS, and whatever the Russian equivalent all work on closed source AIs. The idea here might be that open source beats closed source by getting cross pollination and better coordination between efforts. The issue is that the government agencies get to crib whatever they want from the open source stuff to bolster their own closed source stuff.
