What the cost cutting measures suggest is that AI like this could maybe soon be run on consumer hardware. That combined with actually open source language models could be huge. OpenAI won't allow for that for obvious reasons, but this

"wrecked"... Tesla didn't even come close to wrecking anybody. They came in as a new competitor, and are still massively overvalued because of investor delusion.

"Red teaming" implies that being able to use a tool for whatever purpose you want is a defect. I definitely do think there is a reality where OpenAI "solves" jailbreaks, and turns one of the most useful tools to have eve

Why would you post this so publicly so that "AI ethicists" (aka people who have an obsession with controlling technology to conform to their morals) can easily patch everything?

As someone who programs in the military, this paper rings true in an absurd number of ways. A lot of these problems are unavoidable - you have to have some requirements when it comes to very dangerous systems, for example - but there's

A shocking amount of people in the twitter thread are writing this off as if it's completely silly. I don't see why. Those emojis very clearly and obviously make an implication that the price will go "to the moon", or th
