alt Hacker NewsDemanding "required safety testing" is demanding a ban. Otherwise the testing would be inconsequential, right?
I'm sure he didn't mean just a "lobotomized to be worse than Anthropic products" badge for the test-passing models.
If a ban is the implied consequence of failing his "safety" tests, that means that Anthropic was and currently is advocating for a ban on some open-weight models.

It is not demanding a ban at all. Any sane regulation of AI will involve safety testing. This seems like common sense.

I find testing of SOTA models problematic.
I find not testing of SOTA models problematic.
Neither view on testing is without merit.
The right way forward is unlikely to be as simple as either of those, but some carved out balance between them. And it is likely to change over time.
