    Heh. Well played, even if you put words in my mouth. (A surprisingly effective LLM technique, btw) We’ll see if the west has the will to deny GPUs to the entire rest of the world. I will say that Yudkowsky’s clusters aren’t relevant anymore. You can do this in your basement. Man, shit is moving fast. Edit: wait, that cat is out of the bag too, RTW already has GPUs. The techniques matter way more than absolute cutting-edge silicon. Much to the chagrin of the hardware engineers and anyone who wants to gate on hardware capability.

Depends on how advanced an AI has to be to count as "a threat worth caring about". To borrow a cliché, if you ask 10 people where to draw that particular line, you get 20 different answers.
