- UncleEntity 4y agoJust look at how much flak the stable diffusion folks got for the deep fake porn (and whatever else people were pearl grasping over) and tell me how a corporation will ever release a model. Meta was a fluke but they also did due diligence and made it look like they tried to do a responsible release — right up until someone put it on BitTorrent.
- robertlagrant 4y agoI don't really understand this - it's like trying to explain a colleague's behaviour by saying they're doing something so they get their salary. Of course they need to have commercial gain in mind. But you need to be more specific.
- anonymousDan 4y agoFrom my reading of the parent's comment, they are saying the reason the models are not being made available is because of a fear they will effectively turn into SkyNet - am I being uncharitable?
- robertlagrant 4y agoNot sure - I'm just replying to the immediate parent comment.
- BeetleB 4y agoYes.

(They actually tried to coach GPT-4 to escape onto the internet and it failed.) It's that more that 1) they think we're definitely within 5-10 years of creating something which could become SkyNet, and 2) we don't actually know how to ensure that that an AI wouldn't decide to just kill us, and 3) the nature of competition means everyone is going to try to get there first in spite of #2, and therefore 4) we're all doomed. I'm not as pessimistic as Yudowski, but I do think that his fears are worth considering. It looks like OpenAI are in a similar place.
