alt Hacker NewsHere's the real reason you are finding these responses in the thread and I'll lay it out in the open.
There are people who simultaneously are scared about AI but refuse to believe that AI is the * real deal * and can do everything Dario thinks it can. These are the same people who think its all marketing hype and Dario is "hyping up" before IPO or some lame conspiracy theory.
It is high time people start accepting the real world performance of LLMs and brace themselves instead of hiding behind two contradictory views
1. AI is hype
2. AI is scary
Those two views aren't contradictory. AI can both be scary, in that the primary dangers are bias, misinformation at scale, and displacement of human labor, and simultaneously be overhyped in the way it is marketed at sold to investors with the "what if this happens in the future" scare mongering.
Notice how in any of these proposed regulations, Dario is talking about future advances. Notice how these suggestions are never implied to apply retroactively to existing models. If AI was SO dangerous, then any future regulations should obviously be retroactive and we should seriously consider restricting access now to the models that already exist.
Hard not to see that as nothing more than a play at regulatory capture and pulling the ladder up behind them.
