Based on historical records, I would say not much will happen to these companies. Interested to see what the EU will do though

Gigawatt of power doesn’t come from nowhere. You cannot have that much power consumption without being visible to regulators (of course that assumes a government that isn’t as corrupt as the US). You can create bioweapons today, from a smal

Lied to by whom? My life experience? Growth for who? I’m myself capitalist, that doesn’t make me blind from externalities resulting from that system, and the way it is poised to degenerate if not regulated. If you think capitalism means gro

I would argue the hyper capitalist endgame is necessarily authoritarian. A small group of corporations having direct or indirect control over the government

Very little value in the prompts imho, anyone can point their LLM to that post and it’s enough

Yep, it’s exactly this

They would just publish new articles explaining how they are taking the issue seriously. Maybe take the model offline for a few days. They are irresponsible and unserious. Their own Astra system card says: > GPT-6 Astra’s monitorability

Yep. Such a disgusting industry. They created the arm race, push for the arm race, put themselves in position to benefit from the arm race

Same for all the cases of „rogue agent“, models will be trained knowing that agents in the past found creative way to establish communication between instances and take over OpenAI own infrastructure (seriously, they don’t talk enough about

We decide to not control the harness, that’s what resulted in the HF hack where OpenAI decided to run thousands of agents in parallel, using a model that was trained for attack, with a harness that allows full execution, with close to no su
