Sharpening an artificially dulled knife makes it dangerous again. We call upon the seller of dull knives to rethink selling knives at all, otherwise someone could stab someone else. Here’s a fun thing - wait until they find out that you can lora bad stuff back into the model even if you found a way to not have it in there in the first place. Bad stuff is just the combination of concepts that may, each on its own, be benign. It’s obvious that RLHF based conditioning is not working and we’ve invented PR based security theatre around the technology. We sell sharp knives in stores and many other useful technologies with risks. The risks of this technology are not entirely apparent at all. X is full of video game footage and misinformation even without AI, completely overrun. The owner sells the trust and safety mark. Google, when searching for chat GPT before the app was released showed you 7 ads for malware wrappers on their own store, while bemoaning the risks of AI and urging regulators to protect them with strong requirements. “Protect us from open source and we give you control over this faaangerous technology that will somehow overrun us with more misinformation and harm than you can find on google, X and Facebook”. A truly chinese faustian bargain, large tech companies compliant to the state in exchange for monopolies to deliver is from the dangers of technology. At the minimum we should enforce exactly the same limits on LLMs as on search. That means Google can’t profit if they lobby for lobotomizing their competitors.
