I hate to accuse people of shilling (and HN hates those accusations as well, policy-wise). And there are ways to defend Amodei's point, or at least there would be if he and his friends hadn't been beating the same drum since GPT2.
But I tend to agree, just saying it's a "pretty reasonable statement" and leaving it at that is beyond the pale for anyone who doesn't have an undisclosed stake in the argument.
- solenoid0937 5mo agoThis is like the most milquetoast stance in the AI safety community. It's great the Trump admin did something, no one expected them to, and they should have done more. Very powerful tools released to the public should be regulated for safety. That is "pretty reasonable" to most people (except the tech-libertarian crowd).
- CamperBob2 5mo agoFine, call me a tech-libertarian. I don't think Donald Trump should be involved in regulating AI.
- solenoid0937 5mo agoEven a broken clock tells the right time twice a day. This was an objectively good thing.

- CamperBob2 5mo agoHe hasn't thought it through that far, or thought about what it will take to enforce his "pretty reasonable statement." Or maybe he has. I don't know. That would be worse.
