I mean yeah its vacancy rate is like 20% in NYC… I asked for a source on buildings that are purposely vacant for advertising and it seems like that doesn’t actually exist

It feels like the real cost might be negative though.. They use frontier math as a way to test improvements in their model. So solving the problems is like a positive externality, but the important thing is they can verify that the model

They and Anthropic have indicated that the models are substantially augmenting the research and doing large amounts of work autonomously at this point. Here is one of the many blog posts on it [1]. Many people would dismiss this as "ma

He said there are several others like this which I think is false, TFA wouldn’t be relevant.

Ok but bio weapons could theoretically kill everyone… so it’s not like a knife that could maybe kill a few people. It stands to reason you would regulate a knife differently than a nuclear bomb.

I don’t know what you mean man people obviously don’t own personal tomahawk missiles and that sort of thing. If you have a Shahed loaded with explosives on your property you will probably have to deal with LE

Meh you gotta go for progress over perfection. Screening model releases is progress, you know that companies aren't mass distributing dangerous releases. There might be some foundational security work in terms of how to make models har

Sure nobody should. Still the comment says it wouldn't be better for the world when I would rather someone whose arrogant over a literal psycopath? And that comment just mentions that it's on the US government's radar I don&#

I think we probably have a lot more in common than you think man, I am deeply troubled by things happening in the country and the world right now. That said, during difficult times it is more important than ever to think critically and not

So do you consider everyone who works at defense primes like Raytheon fascists? How about people who work at Boeing on dual use technology? I’m in the camp that words have meanings you can’t just call everyone a fascist who you dislike.

On point 2 he talks about it being an area for them to collaborate on. I’d imagine he would be OK with them having input on the bio risk part but maybe not the “did Tianamen square happen” part of the test

It seems completely unhinged for civilians to have naval guns. You could level an entire neighborhood with one of those.

What are you arguing against? He doesn’t advocate for a ban on Chinese open source or non Chinese open source.

I think you need to be more clear in your argument. Training a decent open weight model takes atleast millions of dollars and they are all associated with real people and companies, almost exclusively in the US and China. So just make norma

I don’t disagree but the timeline for Dario’s concerns are quite short. Open weight models could feasibly lead to serious bio safety concerns in the next year or so while the US’ current issues are going to take a long time to work through.

by ianm218 3mo ago
Dario directly mentions the US gov collaborating with China on this… and they are the only two countries seriously working on AI so it’s a good starting point. Could fold in the EU or anyone else over time.

Where does the bio risk he mentions fall in this category? It feels quite plausible in a year or two to have closed loop labs with very modest resources. Doesn’t mean that you have to think only Anthropic should be able to make bioweapons o

Isn’t it plausibly better if AI is controlled by Dario than Altman even if neither situation is palatable? It feels like people look at the two and dislike both of them so they consider them the same. People who know him frequently refer to

The export controls on chips have been in place for many years at this point. And China has invested immensely in sovereign chip industry for a long time and is still incredibly behind.

It really depends on your workspace. At a lot start ups people would find it strange if you never shared anything about your life.

This is very cool. I'm curious how hard the go to market in hard tech like this is? What is the long term economic model in terms of what you think the margin can be and what the incentives for plants to adopt this technology?

The government can strong arm enterprises in a million ways. If they just issue a vague executive order large public companies won't want to buy inference from these models without regulatory certainty. Anyone in regulated industries i
