He was kinda right.

Lawyers, doctors, students, teachers. Lots of people using GPT models carelessly in harmful ways.

The claim I remember was that releasing it would start an arms race for AGI, which was absolutely true

"Malicious use" means spam, propaganda bots, etc. It's nice to give people who work on spam filters some heads-up.

People quote the "GPT-2 is too dangerous to release" thing as if it were wrong, but given all the slop all over social media and how it's used to create division and attack social cohesion, he was clearly right.

History is long and never over, so he could easily be right both times before this is through.

That guy is the biggest clown lmao
