Did people say GPT from OpenAI was too dangerous to release?
Or was it the fact that OpenAI has demonstrated how good LLMs can get and that bad actors can train their own, uncensored, unaligned LLMS to do "dangerous" things?
- kolinko 2y agoI knew some people from OpenAI at the time of GPT2 development, and indeed that was their rationale - dangerous and needs to be released responsibly. Never before could people produce so much spam and fake news at once - I think this was the first and main worry.
- EGreg 2y agowas? I guess it’s less of a worry now? Why?
- sva_ 2y agoThe GPT2 weight have later been released which made some people suspect the 'too dangerous to release' stuff was mostly hype/marketing.
- EGreg 2y agoWell, if things get more and more powerful then it becomes more true, not less. Like giving everyone nuclear weapons. Or machine guns. Or bazookas. Or slaughterbots. Or labs to create any sort of virus.
