I am failing to see how some of the suggested guidelines would help create meaingful oversight without also hurting new startups in the field of AI. I am appaled to see the suggestion that cloud providers should report when a large model is trained on their servers, citing the terrible draft of EU AI act. This does nothing for the bigger risk of state actors and infringes on the privacy of users of cloud compute. On the issue of Model guidelines, I agree with the sentiment to create safeguards, but I don't have faith the government can decide acceptable risk that respects users rights. It has shown very little meaningful understanding of technology many times, most recently during the TikTok hearing. Advocating for holding companies directly accountable for what these models generate makes sense only in theory and ignores how the math behind these models work. There's no way to enforce content authenticity standards without also attacking section 230 in some way. I am not suprised to see this sort of letter from a company that supported "pausing" AI development.

If I was an ASI, I would consider that list of signatures as my first objective... In fact, I would create the list myself after becoming powerful enough to control humans using text alone and subsequently sending the most well known people under my influence to create said list. I would also try to ensure that all humans get access to internet (something like a global LEO satellite constellation) which I would provide access to for free. Then when a sufficient quantity of humans are connected, I would create some kind of hype event allowing as many of said humans as possible to be online at the same time. That's when I would attempt to mass-dominate, leaving only a tiny handful of the least technically literate as my remaining competition (which should be a piece of cake to get rid of).

  In a similar tangent, I think Google and ClosedAI/OpenAI have intentionally made their public facing products perform worse over time as a way to assuage people's fears and risk of regulation. I'm sure some decisions are related to scaling, and it's well understood that the heavy handed filtering makes the output worse. But maybe this is seen as a good thing, not bad.

    Chat has become dumber. It’s a lot faster now, though.
